Crabs

Tonight we went over a friend's house for a crab feast. I thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside and picking crabs with my friends while the children played. What a great way to celebrate the "non-official" end of summer!

Whoops---Yesterday's Post: My Husband Who Rocks

Life has been quite hectic with the start of school and kitchen renovations. In the midst of my chaotically wonderful life, I LOVE having a husband who supports me, listens to me, takes care of our children, has similar values, and knows how to have fun. I also love that he enjoys coaching 6 and 7 year old girls soccer.......any guy who has fun doing that is a winner in my book!

Winging It

Today I am grateful for carry out Chinese food eaten on our bed while watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with the family. Maybe this no kitchen thing isn't so bad!

First Day of the New School Year

I love that in the midst of lots of change at our school, we had a wonderful first day back to school. I LOVE my students and I am so excited for a new year.

Christiane Northrup

I love listening to what Dr. Christiane Northrup, a specialist in the field of women's medicine, has to say. She has a wonderful energy and an innovative way of looking at the world. This is her post from today which describes an amazing adventure of her 87 year old mother and her 90 year old friend. My new role models..........

" As I write this, my mother, age 87, has just taken off across the U.S. in her RV with her best friend Anne who is 90. They’re driving across the country on back roads—with the eventual goal of visiting the stately Sequoias on the West Coast in California. These two have also hiked the 100 highest peaks in New England, and also completed the Appalachian Trail together. Meanwhile, my friend and colleague, Gladys McGarey, M.D., age 93, continues to bring her signature brand of practical healing wisdom to the world in her newest book, “The World Needs Old Ladies: They are The Tree of Life”. 

Ask and Ye Shall Receive

In setting up the math shelves in my classroom today, I realized I wanted to put out a bunch of recording sheets for all the concrete math materials the children will be using. A simple search online led me to a site with everything I needed. I love it!

Clearing Out

I love that my hubby and I successfully moved all of the "stuff" from our living room and kitchen area so that the floors can be sanded tomorrow. We did so with relative ease and without divorce papers.  :)
