I was off on a little trip...

but now I am back. My husband and I had an opportunity to travel out of town together to an educator's conference. Three days, two nights... and the first time we have gone off together and left our children outside of a hospital stay to have a baby. I am amazed the refreshment a few days away brought me.

• inspired to enjoy time with my kiddos


• decorating ideas tucked away in my mind


• school record keeping ideas mulling around in my head


• lesson techniques jotted down


• exceptionally thankful for mom, dad, and my sister who helped take care of the home and kiddos while we were gone
