Going to the “No

Andrew and I are leaving to go to Fresno for Thanksgiving.
I am very excited to be spending time with friends and family.  We have a tradition every year that all of our friends get together and do our own thanksgiving (we call it “Friends Thanksgiving” – original, huh?) and then on Thursday my immediate fam [...]

Please Join Me in Celebrating

(well, first of all, I made my bed.  Thats how you know I’m on vacation)
But more importantly…
these are all our socks I folded from the laundry.

I’m Off!!!

Being a teacher definately has its perks.  Yesterday I got to go to my school and clean up, get some work done without any students (which, call me crazy, does not feel like work to me.  I enjoy it). 
And now I don’t have to go back for a whole week!! 
The best thing to me about [...]

Homemade is Better

I am spoiled. 
My mom always made our strawberry jam and applesauce homemade.
I can’t eat store bought.
This weekend when we went home, my mom hooked us up with another jar. 
Mmm  hmmm.
