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!

Esme’s Easy Apple Tartlets
I have a confession…I’m not a huge fan of apple pie. I know…gasp! How totally unAmerican of me. I love plenty of other pies, though, so I more than make up for it. Unfortunately for my family, as often as … Continue reading
Cranberry Favorites
In Geometry class yesterday, I asked my students what their favorite Thanksgiving food was (because math teachers need to humanize themselves as much as possible!). Several said cranberry sauce, and it made me think about my own favorites. Cranberries are … Continue reading
