I teach 7th grade language arts in a somewhat rural area in central NC.  I am always exploring ways to make my classroom more engaging and my lessons more meaningful.  I love using music, hands on activities, and technology.  Currently, I'm looking at flipping my classroom and beginning to use reader/writer workshop.

I live with my husband in a cute little house that we are trying to improve a little while saving for a "forever house".  I have an amazing mom and a fantastic brother (who will be a teacher too!).


the family at my brother's graduation... Go NCSU Wolfpack!



During the summer I work at a camp (just part time now) and help run the climbing tower.  It's 55 feet of awesomeness!





This blog is a lifestyle blog, where I chronicle my daily adventures being married, cooking, teaching, and running an etsy shop.
