We’re Planning a Prom!

March 31, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

As we enter into the last trimester of school, things are starting to get a bit hectic, particularly because I am co-advisor for the Class of 2012. I've worked with these kiddos (who are now 'adults') since their freshman year, through fundraisers, homecoming and winter carnival events, and now as we approach graduation, there are lots of details to be taken care of and events to plan, the biggest

A little Boston Outing

March 14, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

The last two weeks have been absolutely CRAZY, thus leaving my little blog a bit neglected.  First, I've had 60 essays to grade, each of which take about 20-30 minutes to read and write extensive comments (you do the math) which means I've spent every moment of the past two weekends grading and am STILL not finished!  The trimester is ending and grades are due at the end of this week so

Rolled Felt Flower Tutorial

March 10, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Here's the process: Cut a strip of felt about 18" x 2".  Fold in half and hot glue along the edge, then cut snips into the fabric along the folded

I love a good thrift store visit…the only items th I love a good thrift store visit…the only items that came home with us were the beach chair (we needed one), the mini chalkboard (which I’ll take to school to display the “quote of the week”), and the cute New Balance sneakers. Stay tuned for part 2 where I show you all the things that caught the eye of my five year old!! 🤣🥰🎉👏🏻
We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as we sat to take a break, this character came over to say hello. Our daughter has worked so hard in physical therapy to overcome some gross motor challenges related to balance and coordination, most notably learning to walk independently. With some encouragement, she stood up and walked over for a hug! This seemingly mundane moment for most families is SUCH a huge milestone for us- one that is a culmination of YEARS of hard work. Words cannot express how proud I am to be her mom and to have a front row seat to true determination, perseverance, and patience…today was an awesome day and makes me so hopeful for the future! 💗
My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- I miss it every day but feel so lucky I get to come back home for much of the summer to fill my cup right up to the brim! I hope my daughter is building core memories of her time here each summer as well…video captured while on a July Fourth family cruise in front of Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.
Doing my damndest to raise my daughter in a world Doing my damndest to raise my daughter in a world where everyone can live as their most authentic, unique, truest selves and will be accepted and loved for exactly who they are! Happy Pride Month! ❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜
Still can’t believe this is our backyard…I was get Still can’t believe this is our backyard…I was getting ready for bed and I looked out my window and saw both a deer and a bunny and pretty much felt just like Snow White! I can’t get enough of these cute visitors (and also know I won’t be spending a ton on landscaping since most plants won’t stand a chance)! 🤣
Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry tre Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry trees in our backyard…watching them bloom has been nothing short of magical. And the scent of the blossoms!! Absolutely divine! 

Buying an older home vs building new can have its perks- one being an established yard (which I just fell in love with). We’ve got neighbors all around, however, the backyard feels pretty private thanks to landscaping done years ago by the previous owners!
