It’s been a long time coming, but the wait is finally over! Over a year ago the Columbus Metropolitan Library Main Branch shut its doors to begin the remodeling process. Already it was the most beautiful library I had ever visited and I couldn’t imagine what type of work would go into this new constructionContinue reading “The New Columbus Library”

The Queen’s 90th Birthday
Luckily my little family was able to sleep during our flight over to England, because we landed on the Queen’s birthday. Queen Elizabeth II turned 90 this year and although her birthday truly falls in April the birthday celebrations were held all over the country on Sunday June 12. Shortly after unpacking and settling in toContinue reading “The Queen’s 90th Birthday”
Happy Father’s Day
Happy Father’s Day to all of the amazing dads out there. Especially the dads in my life :) First of all to my father–the man who taught me what a great dad looks like. He’s been ever supportive of everything I’ve done, a devoted grandfather, and a mean grill master. Although I’ll be missing outContinue reading “Happy Father’s Day”
Road trip to Chicago

Summer Bucket List 2016
The school year has officially come to a close. Each year I’m always astounded by how quickly things wrap up. It seems like only a few days ago that I was trying to learn the names of each of my one hundred sixty students, and now they are on to the tenth grade. 2015-2016 wasContinue reading “Summer Bucket List 2016”
Happy Mother’s Day
I will be spending this Mother’s Day at home snuggling with my little girl. I will never complain about that although I hate that she’s been battling a fever since Saturday morning. Staying home means breaking traditions (if you know me you know that’s a big deal!) I’m sad to miss the epic family dinnerContinue reading “Happy Mother’s Day”
Adventures of a First Time Soccer Mom
A few weeks ago my family embarked into uncharted territory. For the first time our daughter was going to participate on a sports team. A lot of emotions came into play when making that decision. The worst of the emotions was realizing that she was actually old enough to sign up. I’ve always known thatContinue reading “Adventures of a First Time Soccer Mom”
