Closely Knit and Talented Family
Friday, March 20th, 2009I’m home sick from work today, which means I’ve been spending much of the day sleeping, or curled up in a ball with a good book and a mug of hot tea.

Tonight, after reading an article in [...]

Daily Polymer Clay Creations
Tuesday, December 30th, 2008Today is one of those days I’m really grateful I am a teacher. Not only do the third graders fill me with joy and lighten my soul, but we also have long breaks! Seriously, the extra vacation is absolutely not among the reasons why I became a teacher, but it certainly is a perk. [...]
