Today begins the LAST week before school is back in full swing and, to get a sense of how my day is going today, check out my latest tweet: I find that when I sit down to work on stuff for school during the summer I have NO problem flying through the curriculum aspects… you know… the content, “what do I need to teach” stuff.

July Currently
So I know that I am a little late to the game, being that it is already the third (oops!), but I thought it is better late than never!

I also have a new bundle of joy to keep me busy as we have a new calf that needs bottle-feeding on our farm! Meet my new baby (for now), Simon! If you haven’t encountered a “Currently” post before, it… Read More

2 Year Blogiversary Celebration!

Two full years of blogging under my belt and still going strong 🙂 What started out as my New Years Resolution in 2012 has now become a part of my regular routine and has opened up numerous doors and opportunities that I didn’t even know were possible.
