Professionally, I have been an educator for over twenty-five years, and I have seen things come and go and come again in the education world. I have been a central office administrator for over 10 years, and in that time, I have found limited resources to support the work of district level personnel. Often, we have to create from scratch. I plan to share some of the things that I have created or found over the years that have helped my work as a district-level administrator. I think the topics that I will share here will appeal to teachers and administrators, but I hope that my education-related posts will be helpful to non-educators, too, especially parents with children in public schools.
At home, I am basically a putterer who reads. I love reading, and my world feels out of kilter when I am between books. Fiction is my favorite (escapism, anyone?), but recently, I have found myself reading some non-fiction titles that I have enjoyed. Keep checking in to see what's new on my book list. I must also admit that I have a magazine addiction, but I am working diligently to bring that under control!
I putter in a lot of areas. I dabble in making jewelry and paper crafts. Years ago, some of my teacher friends and I started a stamping and card-making group. Although I do not make cards as often now, I still enjoy designing new ones.
Currently, I am working on putting together a 'New Log Cabin' quilt. I will share more on this endeavor in the coming weeks.
I especially love to dig in the dirt. My husband bought me a small greenhouse last year, and I love puttering in it. I love my flower gardens and vegetable beds. I am so happy that the days are lengthening and warming up again. I tend to spend as much of my free time as possible outdoors.
Because healthy living is important to me, I enjoy fitness activities and cooking. Admittedly, I do not always cook healthy meals. How can I when I grew up in the rural South? But I do try to make meals more healthy, and I guess I believe that most of the time, a home-cooked meal has to be better for you - and tastier- than fast food.
These are some of the topics that you can expect to read about here, so please check in with me again!
