One Lovely Blog Award!

I must confess, I am feeling a tad guilty {ok, more than a tad} for being AWOL in the blogging world lately.  Life simply has been getting in the way……more to come on that later?   However, I was super thrilled to find out that Kate from Fun in ECSE nominated me anyway for the 'One Lovely Blog Award'.

Thank you, Kate!  If you have not checked out her blog, you must.

 She has such amazing ideas and tons of great freebies!

Here are 10 fun facts about me.

1.  I just finished my 6th year teaching at the early childhood center in my district.

     Next year, I will begin a new adventure in an elementary building {excited but nervous}where I will

     teach a Title One preschool class.

2.  I was a parent educator for my district before I went back to the classroom.  I had the privilege of   

     providing parents of little ones developmental information to help them know what to expect and

     ways to encourage growth.

3.  I have two children {seems weird to say adult children} aged 25 and 23.

4.  My son just graduated from college and my daughter teaches school in Arizona.

5.  I have a wonderful lab mix dog named Bella.

6.  I am the youngest of eight children.  

7.  I love to travel, especially where there is a beach!

8.  I love to read and look forward to finding time {fingers crossed} this summer to pick up a good 

     book.

9.  I just picked up a 10 speed, reminiscent of my bike I had years ago, and have started riding 

       again……so much fun!

10.  I like funky pieces, whether it's decorating or clothing and accessories.  If it's unique and fun, I love 

       it!

I would like to nominate the following bloggers for this award.  Each blogger has shared a wealth of knowledge and wonderful ideas to help me in the classroom.
