Hooray! I'm so excited to begin this blogging journey! Let's get it started....
Living Life:
I'm currently visiting my parents for the month of July with my two littles Suri and Levi. My husband is back home working. :( My parents will be putting their home (the house that I grew up in) on the market in February so this could be my last summer back home. We moved here to Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin the summer before I started second grade. My daughter Suri starts second grade this fall so she is exactly the same age as I was when we moved here so that has really been on my mind as we've been doing many of the same activities I did as a kid growing up here. I'm definitely feeling a bit nostalgic this summer and took the kids out to take some photos of my elementary school and high school...check out these cheeseballs! :)Cumberland was my elementary school. Door 6 was where I lined up for school every morning and after recesses. Talk about a trip down memory lane!
Love:
I'm currently loving being home in the states. We currently live in the Bahamas for 2 years for my husband's job. While there's a lot to love about living in the Bahamas, I just love being home in the states! Can I say Target, Walgreens, Old Navy, Carters, and cheap groceries?? Just to name a few reasons. :)
Serve:
Before moving to the Bahamas I was active in an orphan care ministry in my church. My small group started it and a few people and I kept it going. My husband and I were foster parents in the states and both our children are adopted from the foster care system. We both have a heart for the modern day orphan. We are looking forward to getting involved with the orphanages on the island.
Teach:
I'm currently reading Reading Reflex by Carmen and Geoffrey McGuinness. Have you read it? What do you think? It's a dramatically different way of thinking about teaching kids to read. I really like it and am using it this summer to help my daughter. It's making a huge difference for her. Do you have struggling readers in your family or classroom? I highly recommend checking it out.
