Hi everyone! I had a little bit of a hard time getting this post up because I have been somewhat consumed by the news of the loss of the firefighters from my hometown of Prescott. One of our friends lost her husband in the fire. Before I get on to business as usual, I just…
(image via Feedly) If you are a follower of many blogs, you have probably heard by now that Google Reader will be no more starting tomorrow. I used to use it all of the time, but became overwhelmed when I added too many blogs. As a blog reader, my life will not be greatly affected…
Have you finalized your 4th of July plans, yet? How about taking a picnic to the park to watch your community fireworks display? I’m not quite sure why my community decided to have our 4th of July celebration a couple of weeks early, but they did, and this is what we did to enjoy the…

Summer is nearly here! I wanted to share something fun we’ve done to commemorate it’s beginning. You might want consider this for your family for Memorial Day, if you don’t already have plans. The backyard campout! Growing up my family used this activity as our traditional celebration of the last day of school and the…
Another quick teacher appreciation idea. Although, I didn’t use these for teachers at all. I teach Let’s Play Music and we just had our recital for the graduates of the program last week.
