I am SO EXCITED to get this blog going. Starting a blog has been on my “someday when I have time” list for awhile now, and I finally decided that despite NOT having the time, I’m going to go for it.
My house is probably going to be a little more clutter-y (if that’s at all possible). I might miss out on a few hours of sleep. But I actually think the things that matter – my family and my students – can only benefit if I set some time aside to write. My family will get a version of their wife/mom whose creative side gets a little more exercise – which I think will translate to a happier, more sane wife/mom. And as for my students, taking the time to blog about school will force me to do more reflecting and thinking about what works best…and otherwise, that reflecting often gets bumped to that “someday when I have time” list.
Win-Win. Win. Win.
So hopefully this will be a win-win for my family and my students. And a win for me too. And last but DEFINITELY not least, I hope this is going to be a win for you. I am looking forward to connecting with you and giving you ideas and inspiring you and reminding you that you’re not alone on this crazy journey of teaching/parenting/living. We have unlimited potential when we collaborate and learn from one another and make the most of God’s gifts to us, so let’s work together to tap into that potential. And hopefully have some fun along the way too.
Here we go!
Oh, wait! Don’t go yet!
