If you would like to order something (it can be shipped to you!) please visit my consultant's website, and click on my show! The deadline to order is Friday, March 26. Thanks!

And the Beat Goes On...

Life has been moving forward at a frenetic pace in our household this month. It's been a busy month at school with our "Build...Defend...Read!" reading emphasis month initiative, which I have sort of spear-headed. It's been neat to see the students get excited about reading. But just the discipline of a daily task has caused the last couple of weeks to fly by for some reason. Last weekend I taught my grad class and this weekend I worked at the store. Three jobs has proven a bit much for the family, so I will be scaling back at the store at the end of the month. I will miss the friends I have made there, but I know I need to be at home with my family. The tendency is to fill the "free" evenings with other things, but I am learning that in this season of life, we need togetherness. And the beat goes on...
