Hey friends!  You will find me hangin’ over at Blog Hoppin’ today.  I am hosting Day 3 of the Welcome 2014 Linky Party.  The topic today is FITNESS.  I’m probably not the best person to give workout tips, but I signed up just the same.  My angle was crafting more

I wrote most of this post yesterday, but I just couldn’t click publish.  I delayed it until today to honor Sandy Hook.  It just felt right in my heart to have a little moment of silence.  We will never forget. *************** In keeping up with my weekly tradition, I am

I sat down at 7 am this morning to put together a little sight word game . . . **throat clear** . . .  8 hours later, I posted a new mini-pack.  I’ll be honest, I was creating this game to use with my own crew this week, but for
