Taking a Field Trip

As I put together little gifts for Abbey's teachers this year, I thought a little about the countdown that inevitably happened around this time of year when I was in a classroom.  Kids and teachers start to look outside for signs of snow and begin to mentally calculate how many more times you would have to hit the snooze button before the holiday break.

When I left the classroom two years ago, I fully anticipated going back to teaching at some point.  I'd love it if you would come over to Theta Mom today, where I'm talking about how blogging has made me reassess those plans.

I'm beyond honored and thrilled to be pulling up a chair and hanging out at Heather's place today.  Her blog is one of the first I followed, and her community button might have been the first one I posted on my own blog. 

She's a supportive, authetntic, generous blogger, but she's more than that; her entreprenual spirit and drive to grow her site into a brand and a media company is truly inspiring. 

If you're visiting from Theta Mom, welcome!  I’d love it if you looked around a bit.  Feel free to listen in as I write to Abbey onher first day of school, remind myself about what matters, and disagree with (way ahead of me in the writing game) Stephen King.
