Hi and welcome to my blog! I am a K-5 Special Education Teacher in Wisconsin and starting my 5th year. I started my teacher career teaching in a small town about a 1/2 hour away from where I grew up and went to school. Last year, I was hired as a K-5 Special Education Teacher in the same district and school that I attended. I teach K-5 students with special needs. Most of the students I teach have Emotional & Behavioral Disabilities and Autism. I do both pull-out groups to work on specific skills and work in the classroom with the general education teacher and paraprofessionals. I love living in our small town and having the opportunity to teach at the same school I attended. There is just something about being a part of the community that comes with being from a small town. I went to school in Madison for my teaching degree but found myself very quickly back in my small town after I graduated.

Besides school, I have been married for just over three years to my best friend Adam. We were married in 2010 and it has been amazing ever since. Last summer Adam and I had a beautiful baby girl. She just turned one, is starting to walk and talk, and is constantly keeping us running! She has been such a blessing to our lives and I am so blessed to be a mom to such a wonderful little girl. We also have a crazy dog, Bria, who is always keeping us going and our little girl just loves her. Out daughter has now taken the number 1 spot in our lives, but when I do have free time away from work, we like to hang out with family and friends, go for walks, runs, and bike rides.

I have decided to change the focus of my blog a little bit. Not only will this blog be about my journey of being a special education teacher but it will also document my journey of being a new mom, my DIY projects, my cooking adventures and every other part of our wonderful crazy life! I hope that you enjoy my blog, I feel this is a great way to share all the things I do in my classroom and at home. This is also a wonderful way to learn what other people are doing in their classrooms or in their homes. I welcome any kind of feedback or comments so please feel free to share. So...
Sit back and enjoy my journey!
