I'm BACK

Wow! It has been six years since I last posted, and what an amazing journey it has been.  I actually left the classroom in 2020 and began homeschooling my middle schooler, who is now a high schooler.  I never could have imagined myself homeschooling, but God had a better plan, and it truly has been the most AMAZING and REWARDING experience I could have imagined.  I also have three precious grandbabies now, that keep me wonderfully busy.  

I still create classroom printables, but for now, they are aimed for the big kids.  I am working on a Doodle Timeline of US History and I can't wait to share it as I get a little further along.  I have also been able to discover lots of wonderful upper grade resources on TPT over the last several years, that I never had the opportunity to check out as a first grade teacher.  

On another note...I just got an Apple Pencil for my iPad and I am completely HOOKED!!! How did I not know about Procreate?! It is AMAZING and I am having so much fun playing with it.  I use a fantastic online Homeschool Planner from Homeschool Planet for my lesson plans, and I love creating my own fun backgrounds.  By the way, if you are a homeschool parent, Homeschool Planet is so great.  This is the most recent wallpaper I created for my online planner.  Thought I'd share in case you need a fall wallpaper or maybe you just need a doodle turkey for something fun.  HAPPY FALL!
