It's my birthday. Woohoo! I'm 39 today. All this talk and here it goes...my 40 before 40 adventure list started today. You're wondering what the heck did I start with. Here's a clue. Yep, I did it. I got my nose pierced. I know what you're thinking. This mid-life crisis thing is hitting her hard … Continue reading #1 Adventure
Well, I'm down to a week and I have my first adventure planned...stay tuned. But today, I'm just going to ramble off another story. It's summer and as a teacher, I'm off for the summer. Well, mostly. Except this summer and last summer and pretty much all of them. So far since school has been out, I've been … Continue reading Summer Running
The birthday is getting closer. The big 3-9. Ahhh...I'm getting so old! Just kidding. I really don't feel old and I'm actually excited. People keep offering suggestions about what I can include in my 40 new adventures and I love it! Keep 'em coming! I can't actually start them yet though because I set a … Continue reading Two weeks out…

The fact that I have to visit an average of 3.45 states per year in order to meet my goal is a little crazy. I'm going to do it though. … Continue reading 50 before 50
I talked about my bucket list yesterday. Basically, I love trying new things and I'm currently obsessively researching "how to blog". I should probably be researching "how to teach STEM" or "how to parent teenagers". But, I'm not. In the education world people throw around a lot of terms. Like being a lifelong learner. I think … Continue reading This might become an obsession
I honestly don't know the answer to this question other than why not? I've always loved writing. I have many stories to tell. Nothing too exciting, but stories nonetheless. I love new trends and while blogging is certainly not new, I haven't tackled it yet. It's summer. I'm on vacation for a couple of months. … Continue reading Why Blog?
