If you want to make your very own version of this, check out the details below!

Married man and woman on their wedding day.

First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes the baby in the baby carriage…right? Who else remembers this song? lol It easily set me up for this false preconceived notion that not long after marrying my soulmate, I would be able to simply have a baby.

Wow, where to begin?! Did I ever think I would have to write a post about things I am doing to support distant learning with my students? Definitely not, but here we are and we MUST persevere through this trying time. Thursday, March 12th was the last time my students and I were together in our classroom. I sent them home thinking we would just be gone for a week and then things would simmer down and I would get to see their beautiful faces again…little did I know.

Officially a Homeowner! My Tips for Staying Sane During the Home Buying Process

First Time Home Buyer

Whew! We made it, we got through the storm called the “home buying process”! Back in March of this year my husband and I decided that we could no longer deal with apartment living. We have been married for over 3 years and we both have steady careers, a decent savings (but nothing over the top, don’t get me wrong), and we were beginning to seriously think about our future and where we wanted to lay down our roots.

I was growing (getting married, graduating college, starting my career), and my blog got lost in the dust somewhere in between. It was time for Continue Reading…
