Gratitude

that's a line from Lyfe Jennings song, "It could've been worse" ! (if you don't know about Lyfe Jennings, Google him....he's a great singer....If you are familiar with Lyfe cop his new album "I Still Believe" !! MAN....I listen to that album like 5 times a day!!)

Good Morning Everyone! I've decided to start my mornings off with this post from now on. I keep a gratitude journal however I'm not that consistent with it like I want to be.

From the two teachers in his classroom, to the Spanish, Art, Music, PE and Enrichment classes, these amazing educators put so much time and energy into each and...Read Full Story

  Today is Boating Day! Oh I do so love the summer months. When you live on the east coast of Canada summer is short, and so we relish every warm moment and soak up every stray ray of sunshine. Just to give you an idea of why I look forward to weekends, Jim took this picture (with his CELL PHONE believe it or not!) last weekend. (Those are my toes! :-) So don’t expect a perfect reporting. We will be packing a picnic lunch and I will be bringing LOTS of raw celery, peppers, carrots...Read Full Story
