School + Education

  Some of my favorite childhood memories are from going to high school football games.  I loved everything from the popcorn to seeing my friends...and maybe even watching a little bit of the game! I hope you'll get out with your...

"Back-to-School" season is one of my most favorite times of the year.  Stores are lined with rows upon rows of school supplies---new notebooks, fresh pencils, perfect crayons!  Ah, my teacher-heart could burst!  And while going back to school might...

Community. What pictures come to mind when you read that word? Neighborhood block parties? Sunday afternoon luncheons? Perhaps you’re thinking about your Mom-group. Allow me to brag on the community I’ve had the honor of calling my own. This community has been...
