A Legacy
October 28, 2013 Last Tuesday, Papa would have been 90. He was kind, generous and unassuming. Sometimes he pretended he couldn’t hear what Mama was saying, but we really knew the truth. One of my favorite memories is taking them to the beach and starting to unload our bags… You see, we had everything you […]

DIY Painted Pillow
October 9, 2013 So, I decided to paint a pillow. How does this go along with My Moving Challenge? ? Well, I’m tying it in by explaining how important it is to use what you have…by moving things around the house. You see, this was formerly an outdoor pillow. Even more perfect for a little […]
Moving Writing
October 8, 2013 This post is a part of a 31 Days Challenge: Today, I had a quick conference with Amber after school about writing. We talked about progress and what really works for us. I talked about how I have really seen my third graders grow as writers and I attributed it to the paragraph diagram. […]
