Where Does the Time Go?

As I sit here and reflect on the ornaments hanging on our Christmas tree, I can't help but feel that I am a lucky mom!
This has been one of my favorite ornaments and it is always placed near the top!  I remember that Christmas well as we were awaiting the arrival of our firstborn.  I had just resigned from 10 years of teaching kindergarten and I was nervous, scared, and excited to hold that baby boy.  Well, some things have not changed, I still love holding that boy and have the same feelings!!!
When I started this blog back in 2009, I wanted to share all the fun and educational things that I did with my son with other moms.  Being a stay-at-home mom, I loved being with my son.  Plus my husband said, use your "school stuff" or get rid of it!  I did well for a while documenting our journey together, but life happened and I got busy!  We moved to Northern California, welcomed our second son in 2012, and moved back to Orange County in 2014.  Since then, I went back to the classroom.   My goal this year is to document what I am doing in the classroom and share my creativity with other moms and teachers.  
This photo sums it up, where I started as a mom and where we are today!
Looking forward to 2019!
