Thanks for stopping by my blog! The hats I wear include wife (to a retired Army field artilleryman), mom to three super busy teens, and high school math teacher. In my “free time” I love cooking, reading, creating (mostly papercrafts), photography, travelling, and exploring the PNW with my family…you know, all the usual things!
I hope you’ll find some inspiration, entertainment, and something that makes you smile here. I look forward to hearing from you!

Halloween Countdown
While this is not a true Throwback Thursday post, it is something we did last year, so I’m counting it. I’m certain I’ve mentioned before that my kids LOVE countdown calendars. Especially the activity ones. Last year, I downloaded this … Continue reading
