I am a mom to two kids, a girl and a boy. I live in Minnesota with them, my wonderful husband, and our golden, Rocco. After my family, I love stories, books, libraries, photography, thrift stores, going to the movies, and making old things new. I enjoy cooking when I do it but have a hard time making it a priority. I love homemade things and try to fill our lives (and the lives of those we love) with things I've made or repurposed.
I've been involved with teaching and library work since my teen years and am so happy to now spend my days as a middle school librarian.
I am always trying to prioritize space for writing in my daily life but find it difficult to commit the time. My hope was that this this blog would be a place to oil my thoughts, scrape off the rust, and truly start writing again, and it was...for awhile. I'm continuing in the attempt. I bounce in and out of here in those times when my need to write becomes un-ignorable!
So, this is my blogging space where I can keep track of the things we're reading at home and the experiences we're having at school, the things we're constructing everyday, and the connections we find between all that and this life we're living. I hope you'll find a little inspiration, camaraderie, maybe even entertainment, as I share these pieces of my every day life.
