We just returned from the Wisconsin District’s Getaway weekend thanks to my parents who came up to stay with Ella. I survived being away from Ella all night for the first time. I missed her badly, but it was nice to be able to be a part of everything without distractions, for once. I did [...]
It is a typical Saturday and I decided to run to the store to get milk and bread. When I arrived, I realized that it was busier than usual due to the upcoming Packers game tomorrow night–ummm….I’m pretty sure us Colts fans don’t do our team justice compared to these die-hard fans. This is the [...]
1. No matter how prepared you are, you have to be flexible 2. Kids have their own schedule 3. Nursery workers are the hardest people to recruit 4. Exhaustion can be fixed by going to bed sooner 5. I did better on a working schedule when it comes to showers and looking presentable before noon!:-) [...]

So, all this to say, I encourage you to sit down and write out a list of all the things you have that you are thankful for, gifted at, and have learned in the past 28 years (or however far you’d like to go back). I think when you see all that you ARE rather [...]

Quotes from Mike Huckabee: We need to test teachers as well as students, replace teachers who aren’t competent, and impose reasonable waiting periods for teachers to gain tenure. We should provide bonuses and forgive student loans for high-performing teachers to work in low-performing schools. Just as there are executives in the corporate world who specialize [...]
Ok, so she didn’t really meet him, but I’m sure her reaction would be the same if he were holding her! I never thought I’d express political views on my site, but we have been following Huck’s campaign so far and are really impressed with who he is and what he stands for. I wonder [...]
