....and so I'm deciding to BEGIN. I've been blogging for other {WONDERFUL} people (Scholastic & Class Dojo) for years, but I yearn for a lovely little space to call my own. I sound a bit like an early twenty-something longing to move out of her parents' house, don't I?  Well...this is my new place, the first place I can call my own blog. I have BIG PLANS for this little blog and website and I'm beyond thrilled to further embark on the journey and adventures that await.

{A TEACHER LIFESTYLE BLOG}

 A WHAT?!?!  That's right, a teacher lifestyle blog.  You know why......because the {often secret} lifestyles of teachers are fascinating, because teaching BECOMES your life as an educator. We are some of the hardest-working, most creative, kind, caring, and compassionate people you'll ever meet. I've created this blog because I want to shine a bright {sparkling} light on the daily details of teacher lives. Teachers and teacher bloggers inspire me EVERY. SINGLE . DAY. By connecting, collaborating, and communicating, we can celebrate {and survive} the culture that is THE TEACHER LIFESTYLE.

Will you be my ROOMIE in my new place? I'm all about connecting and collaborating, so I hope you'll join me in becoming blog besties. Take a minute to check out the TABS AT THE TOP of each page to learn more about me & the site!

Thanks so much, Roxane! I appreciate you peeking at the brand new blog. I TRY to be a great teacher every day...but it's tough...and so I appreciate your support. This site will feature not only what's happening in my classroom, but MANY OTHER teacher classrooms across the country so that we may all learn from each other! Thanks!

How cool-you really are something! Are you going to make me yearn to return to the classroom with your brilliant ideas? Can't wait to visit your new space often!

Sweet friend, you are always so supportive! WE NEED YOU to return to the classroom, b/c you're the ultimate "Gaga" diva of all things education (#myteacheridol). I'll (hopefully) be featuring teachers from all over on the blog/site, so they'll be full of inspiration.....and so will you, girl, b/c I plan on featuring you and tapping into your fashion-ista and wealth of knowledge to share with others! Girls' day out w/Heidi interview??? I think so!
