Inspiration!

I'm sooooo EXCITED!!!  I just purchased my DJ Inker License and I plan on making a new product each day this week and posting it on TeachersPayTeachers nightly.

Today I created a High Frequency Word Cloze Sentence Activity.  It is 4 pages of useful handouts.  Short, easy, the way I like transition work.  I plan on using these with my class this week to ready them for the Cloze Assessment on Thursday.

Tomorrow I will edit my Christmas Math packet and put it up for sale.  I will be posting details nightly.

Last but not least, I will be having a give away, so please check back on Thursday for the fun details!

Have a great week!

PS, I am having a sale on my products, so it is the perfect time to buy!

WHOA!

I cannot believe that it is already Halloween!  I didn't have school the last two days because of Hurricane Sandy, but that isn't why I haven't been blogging.  I am currently doing something I never thought possible.  I am losing weight.  I'm not talking weight watchers or some other plan.  I'm doing Boot Camp.  Eat from the sheet and work your ass off.  In a month I was running a mile in under 13 minutes!  I did it in 11:56 last week!  AMAZING!  I have a goal to be under 10 minutes by Christmas.  I also plan on being down 26 pounds by then.  I'm thrilled to be releasing my stress in a healthy way and turning myself away from food.  I've been reading like no tomorrow.  Replace one habit with another.  Well, time for bed.  Hope to share some fun things I'm doing in class.

Happy November!

Exhaustion, Fun, and Parent Homework

This weekend has been EXHAUSTING!  I feel like I need a weekend for my weekend!  I had four days off to boot!  CRAZY?!?!?  My daughter finally returned late Friday night from her trip with her grandparents to Maine!  I loved having a week off, going to three boot camps (More on that another day), and spending time with my grandmother.  It was odd to get up daily and only worry about me, but then to put her into the mix this weekend AND add in my nephew!  PWEH!  I'm ready for bed!

I had a lot of fun this weekend with my daughter and nephew.  They are two amazing kids and they get along sooooo well!  I took them for a long walk today at the beach.  Let's just say, he didn't like the long walk, but agreed to go for a jog with me next time he was down.  :)

Finally I just posted one of my FAVORITE resources to TPT!  I use Parent Homework EVERY year! I seriously NEED this form to understand my parents every year!  I just ask a few simple questions, and in one night, I know a LOT about my students and their parents!  I have made it free because I'm sure other have used this resource in the past.  If you don't have it, please download it and use it yearly!

You will find Parent Homework HERE!

Also while you are there, don't forget to pick up my Beach Alphabet and Shapes unit!  The Alphabet is amazing and I can't wait to share with you a picture of how it looks in my classroom!  Seriously, the kids loved it and love looking at the pictures!

I will be back tomorrow with my currently for September!

Have a great first day to those starting tomorrow!  I'm starting day 5!  :)

And She Surfed to Success!!

Today was the day.  The day I've dreamed about for 7 years.  The perfect first day of school.  Yes it came.  Lucky number seven maybe??  The students came in and they were SILENT!  They colored and listened and followed all of my directions!  I thought I had died and gone to heaven.  Yes I have a shouter!  But I can live with a shouter because that shouter found out that I don't do calling out, we raise hands and wait turns.  I do have one with health as a concern, but we are going to stay on top of it and rock her out to a successful year of first grade!  I had one student that well we didn't get it right twice.  Can't have milk and was upset about oj.  Can't blame the kid.  Second, kid was marked to walk home, but parent came.  Not a cool story!  Moral, make sure if they parent drops off that they understand what walk means.  I'm sure I'll double check it again!  Kid made it to parent.

Next my perfect day came to a hault when I was asked to switch reading groups.  We switch for reading and we have two groups of three.  Our pods were made by where our rooms were, but one person asked me to switch because it wasn't gelin'.  I'm not gelin' with the idea.  Tears were shed as I talked to my mom about it.  I want a stress free zone tomorrow and I don't know what to do.  O the choices stink!  I say no and it bothers me, I say yes it bothers me.  WHY MUST I BE PUT INTO THIS SITUATION!!!!????  What would you do??

I'm totally diggin day two with my kiddos.  Can't wait to see what they are capable of!

I'm also thinking of just ignoring the situation and seeing what happens. ;)

Oh and always carry a spare set of flip flops with you.  I didn't.  i've lost weight and the shoes that were perfect last year aren't so much this year.  O well, just gives me an excuse to wear them all day tomorrow!  So thankful I am able to do this!

Just to show how great of day it was, you can see my desk!  It is a mess and I say that any day where your desk looks like this is a success!  All able to be cleaned up but principal gifts just dropped off and my folder basket plopped down at 645 this morning.  Yup, a success!  :)

I'll take you on a classroom tour tomorrow!

Miss Red Head and her not so rambling class!  :)

It Is The End

So today was my final day of summer.  I go back tomorrow.  I have Pinterested my life away.  I've created things I've wanted to for awhile.  I've not finished one professional book.  I didn't crack my curriculum this summer, but it is all going to be okay.

This summer turned into a summer of healing.  Two years ago I started down the longest path in my career.  Trying to deal THE CLASS.  It took all last summer to get over it.  I read about 10 professional books and by February, I was healed and loved my class.  This summer was totally about healing and praying and understanding.  Not completely accepting it, but I'm moving closer.  This will be a year of change for me in my classroom.  No longer will I have my cousin to text in the morning about what a terror kiddo was.  No more texts about parties or get togethers or cookie fun or random stuff.  It is gone.  Yes I have others to do this with, but it isn't HER!  I have struggled about whether to type this, but this is me.  This is one struggle I am going to have all year!  After 28 years, it doesn't stop.  You just adjust.  I'm adjusting by becoming crafty.  My cousin was an amazing artist and the crafty police couldn't stop her.  Now I'm taking steps to become not just done, but finished done.

Since today was my final day of summer I did enjoy one random book of my choice to read.  I finished it around 11 this morning.  I then had breakfast with kiddo at 12 at a local cafe.  I had a gluten free cookie.  She had a cupcake.  Then we rolled down to the beach.  We went to a local fav of ours, where we head on Wednesday Nights until they close for the season to just get away and remind each other that we can make time for each other.  Next we ran to get ice cream and carmel popcorn.  YUM!  (All food was gluten free!!)  Then we went to the play ground instead of the beach because it was only 75 degrees and the last time I was on the beach at that temperature, I ended up on an ambulance.  No thanks!  Finally I went to try and find something for the first day of school, but no luck!

Today I took a ten mile bike ride in an hour!  That is a first!  I came home and organized and loaded a good part of my stuff in my trunk.

I'm ready for tomorrow.  I need daily life to return.  I love my kid, but I need to not feel her glued to me because she is afraid I will die.  My mom returned home on Saturday with no surgery just a nasty case of dehydration!  DRINK PEPS DRINK! Seriously she asked how old she will be when I die after going home the first night my mom was in the hospital.  A 4 and a half year old asked this.  Yes, this has been apart of my healing.   This has been the challenge.

Tomorrow I will begin my link up for the must haves.  This was a heart pincher and it feels good to let it out.  Tomorrow I will eat rice chex for breakfast instead of a cookie.  Yup, summer is over.  And a new chapter is ready to begin!

Winner, tour guide, and bellies

First off I want to thank Meg at third grade in the first state for her awesome drawing! What a nice surprise to get an email while sitting in the er with my mama this afternoon. My mom has the belly issue. Not sure what but hoping all is resolved shortly!

Last but not least I went out last night and realized i was the only native in the group. So they decided that I should open a business for tour guides. I have history in our beach resort so I'm all for some fun.

This quickie post is being done while I wait for food for my dad mom kiddo and myself. Happy last crazy days of summer to me!! Hope no one else gets the call about appendix, er, surgery, nope sorry, overnight to see what's up!

~miss red head

Whipped

Oh my word!  What a day!  I spent six hours in my classroom and forgot to bring more than a cup and a half of rice chex to eat.  Needless to say, I ate a late lunch at 3:30 and then dinner at 6:30.  Better late than never.  It is hard being gluten free, but the amount of work I got done and the way my body feels is so worth it.  Don't think I'll go in tomorrow with the intention of having food with me.  :)

Kiddo came with me and played across the hall with my awesome partner's kids.  I got even more done because of them!  SO THANKFUL!!  I didn't take any pictures, but I did manage to get my desks arranged, my bulletin board changed to fabric, things put away, reading books moved around, and so much I can't even remember.

I came home after a quick run to Sonic.  :)  With my favorite Happy Hour Drink, I was able to finish my Survival Kit.  I saw this pinned last year and did it, but this year, I took it to a whole new level.  I filled the bag, redid the bag label, Modge Podged it to the bag and sealed the bag with a label.  It looks like this.

I cannot wait to place them on student's desks for Meet the Teacher next Friday.  Really fits my classroom this year.

Tomorrow I am headed back into my room as I mentioned before.  Kiddo is coming.  Afterward my mom is taking Marie so I can go out for a girls night.  Beach!  Woo!

Happy Tuesday!

Slacker.....& a Sale!

I'm so sorry, I have been a major blog slacker this week.  I have no excuse.  I did go to work two days for a task force.  It was PBS.  It was productive.  I have everything copied that I need for the year for the cafeteria.  I also taught Arts and Crafts at Skating Camp!  It has been a crazy busy week.  I spent time getting stuff finished, like my folders with labels, getting birthday bubbles tied with their birthday balloons.  I hope to post lots of pictures on Monday, including my before classroom pictures.  I finally get to head in next week.  Lots of changes and I'm loving it!

As I mentioned, I am throwing a Sale on my TPT site.  As with everyone else, it will be 20% off.  I hope to add a few other items for you to enjoy before tomorrow.  You never know...Something might be added for only a $1!!

Have a great weekend and I promise to blog at least three times next week.

Crazy Dreams, Currently, & a Freebie

So last night, I had my first wacky back to school dream.  Thing is, I don't dream about me teaching or my classroom.  Nope.  Not so lucky!  I dream about....high school and old friends and ex boyfriends.  This time I lived at our high school, that didn't look like our high school and I ended up back with the ex.  Weird!  I guess it all goes to actually still teaching in the same school I went to school in.  My current classroom was the computer lab when I was in school.  I first used a computer in this room.  But now, it is MY ROOM!  I CANNOT wait to get back in there and transform my room.  I have only been in it for one year, so it is time to transform it more!  I never did finish some of my bulletin boards last year because I simple ran out of time.  Yes I had things on it through the year, but this year it will be neat and organized and FULL of student work!

Ok time for Farley's August Currently.

Don't forget to read the two before and two after when you link up!

Here is the bag I want from L.L. Bean.  I got a Vera Bradley bag last year and I HATED IT!  I never not like bags, so I was shocked to hate it!  I love this bag and look forward to having two Boat Totes this year!  They are so great for notebooks, curriculum and just knowing something will last forever!

Finally a Freebie!  I have become a DJ Inkers Junkie!  My awesome mom thought up a saying for my homework folders this year.  I used FISH last year, but having a beach theme it didn't really fit.  The BEACH acronym while worked, just wasn't me.  So S.W.I.M. Folder it is.

Students With Important Materials.  Yup it is me.  I also used DJ Inker background, so since this isn't allowable really for me to share, I have created a photo SWIM Folder and made it a FLASH Freebie, so get it quick or make your own folder.  Click the link above or my Teachers Pay Teachers link to get your cover!  I printed this onto full sheets of Labels and stuck it to my folder!  I also just posted my photographic Beach Alphabet.  I will post more about that later!  I may also do a giveaway for the alphabet and shapes unit too!

Also, I'm looking to make my blog more ME.  PLEASE leave me any info on who to contact that can help make my blog more up to date and fit for a Red Head.

Thanks so much!

First Year Advice

O what I wouldn't do to go back and teach my first year all over with my amazing students, but then again, I don't because what I know now is much more valuable and worth the 6 years it took me to make it to my 7th year of teaching!

 My first year is kind of two years. My first 94 days were spent in a family leave. I was there from January to June and oh my were they crazy! I was married to my job and an emotion mess from just being so overwhelmed! It was also a TAM classroom, so I had to follow everything that was in place. NO changing! It was tough!

 The next year I was on my own. It was glorious. I had some management, but not like I have learned! Here are some tips for first year teachers:

 1. Write down every procedure you plan on having in your class. Even bathroom and drink. Be flexible if your plan doesn't work, but stick with it, otherwise they won't be procedures.

 2. Have a go to person. The person you can cry to, but also share a laugh. I learned that having 5 amazing ladies to start my day with make it all better! I can even pop my head in their door during planning just to be like, "OH my goodness, I left a kid in the room for 45 minutes sleeping! We went to the assembly and I forgot him! What do I do??" (True story!!) This person(s) will give you the best advice and root for your success, just make sure they are positive!

 3. Sleep! Go to bed early at least 3 nights a week. Reserve one night a late night. For me it has always been Thursday for Grey's Anatomy. It has been my stress relief since the get go. Very rarely do I do work on this night. Even though I go to bed late, I still feel rested in the morning because I wasn't working.

 4. Laugh when you make a mistake. I cannot tell you how often I felt I couldn't laugh because it would look like I didn't know what I was doing. Yup, technology fails. Yup, your hand moves to quickly and you hit a kid on the arm accidently. Yes, you are so tired you walk into a desk. So what! Laugh, you are enjoying what you do, so will your students.

 5. This one is going to kill some people but....You don't ALWAYS have to laminate everything! I know. It sometimes is an addiction, but I have found to laminate posters, homework folders, centers, and some things for the hallway. After that, I've had enough cutting and I'd rather spend that time with my daughter. She's more important. Just one thing I gave up and it feels REALLY GOOD!

 Well now it is your turn. What advice would you give to a new teacher???  Don't forget to link up with Stephanie in room 6 with your awesome advice!

Stephanie in Room 6

It Has Started

So about Saturday of last week it hit. I had 1 month until I report back to work. That means all the little things I do the NIGHT before Meet the Teacher, needed to get done ASAP! So I started looking things over, buying graphics from DJ Inkers because if I'm sticking with my beach theme, I'm sure as heck going to convert EVERYTHING to beach theme. On Monday I went to Wal-Mart TWICE! Then I went to Staples, were I bought myself a nice new printer. Not just any printer, one that is wireless AND prints double sided....(Can you tell whose going to have a longer Parent Newsletter this year?) Then I just busted out the MacBook that has been sleep for about 2 months. I also bought labels, because it is what I do EVERY year. That night I sat infront of my computer creating labels for my ticket back, that say, "Aloha! I've got P.A.W. Power!" I then stuck them to 30 bags and then reinforced the sides with BLUE Duck Tape. The bags look something like this.

After that I had talked to my hallway buddy, who is a "Tree Hugger." Literally we sat down to plan a theme for her and we thought earthy feel would be good, then I said Trees and she has taken it from there! She got Palm Tree Labels! Not sure I could teach first without her! Next after working way too late on these bags, I ran up to Skating Camp to teach Art. I think I've spent hours looking at blogs AND Pinterest making sure I have all the little details ready. I finished my labels for Meet the Teacher for parents. I use Kristin's idea from A Teen Tiny Teacher. It went over super well last year. This year I went and bought the Avery bag set. It was a little $$ and I thought I could use them for 2 years BUT they fed wrong, so I only have enough for this year. Lesson learned, only feed one sheet at a time. Now I just need to buy hugs to fill the bags. Yesterday I went and did some crazy shopping. I went to JoAnn's and Target. I bought notebooks for Friday Journals. They were 17 cents each. I'm not complaining, since I got 30 in blue. I don't like to procrastinate with supplies like that, since I know colors go fast. Today I bought my blue homework folders from WalMart. I plan on working on them this weekend. Today I created my Survival Kit. Instead of it being a Back to School Survival Kit...It is a Surfing School Survival Kit! I figure if I'm going full out, we will be a surfing school! I hope to share some of my creations on Monday. Have a great weekend everyone! I am beach bound tomorrow! YAY!

Tell Me More

Finally Linking up to Tell Everyone more about myself. Let's see, where to start?? 1. Let's start way back when I was little. I had red hair. My mom swore she wouldn't bring me home if I was born with red hair. Lucky for me, I was born with newborn, black hair. :) But one day, at about three months old, I woke up with Red Hair! She swears it was just one day, and looking through albums of pictures, it was one day.

2. Since I was 5, I was ready for school weeks ahead of time. I have loved going to school since Kindergarten. It never stopped! I picked out my outfit and bag days ahead. My mom cried. I swore I wouldn't do that to my kid, but now, I'm not so sure... My first day of school

3. I thought at 9, I would become a pediatrician. I stuck with that dream until I was 17. I applied to all my college choices Pre Med. Then after volunteering in a second grade class with my favorite person in the world whose known me since I was a baby, who became my mentor student teacher....I decided to apply to one last school....as an Elementary Education Teacher. 4. At 7 I started getting serious into Archery. Like, I needed a new bow every year for awhile. Every six months, I got things redone on it just to make it last longer. I was the red head that was uncool because I had red hair and I shot a bow and arrow, something NO ONE DID! Now I can say, I was cool when Brave wasn't out. 5. I have a super cool daughter. She is my world. Yup, I'm a single mother. Nope, I don't regret a thing. She was the best choice I have ever made. She is like 4 going on 14, but I love her for keeping me on my toes daily. She won her first skating competition this past March. Here is a picture of her skating during this competition.

6. Skater Child has crossed eyes. She has been wearing glasses for nearly a year. She is on her third pair. Next step is surgery. It really effects her with writing, so I'm hoping that we can have all eye issues resolved within the next nine months. Between Prayer, an amazing doctor, and not letting it go by, I'm hoping that it works and surgery isn't needed. She still crosses her eyes with glasses, but they are getting better when her glasses are off. She can't patch because it is both eyes. 7. I'm really shy and standoffish if you've never met me. I look like the bitch you wouldn't want to talk to which is why I struggled to start this blog. But once I've gotten to know you and you get that I'm not always like that, I'll talk your ear off. Thankfully, I work with some amazing people, that got me out of being standoffish really quick because being in the hallway for 15 minutes in the morning, makes for a great day! 8. I never wanted to teach in the same school I went to. I had no desire to teach at my building. I actually thought about turning down my job, but I decided to give it a go! So glad I did! I'm that wacky person that remembers everything and the smell is still the same! 9. I don't name my cars. I've had 2. I just got my third. Guess what? It has a name. Well, a Nickname. It is a Jetta, so we call it Jet Jet! And it has a Jet Pack! It came with a first aide kit and my daughter fell in the parking lot at Busch Gardens and I scooped her up and said, "Let's go get the Jet Pack from Jet Jet!" It stopped her crying and it stuck! 10. I'm still a red head. Best choice I've made. Even though I've thought about dying it all sorts of colors, red is my favorite! It makes me who I am. It did take years for me to love it, but I'm glad it took time. Good things do come to those who wait!

11. Last but not least, my last name is Short. I am not short, by any means. One teacher actually called me Ms. Tall in school and still does to this day! I'm 5' 7" and I aim to be tall! Thanks so much for hosting this linky party Miss Lemons! If you haven't linked up, go do it now!

Time to Shape Up!

Well, not get fit Shape up, but get your students shapes in order. I have created Shape Shuffle! It is up on Teachers Pay Teachers now. This amazing package has 8 Shape Posters, 5 activities, 1 assessment and a score sheet for the assessment! This is a pretty good bargain if you teach first grade. Not only does it focus on shape names, but corners, sides, and following directions. Some activities would be great for morning work or centers. I'd love to post a picture of it but I'm having trouble. Being new to the whole blog deal is tough, but I'm sure I'll catch on quickly. I have it on sale for $2.00. Let me know what you think! Happy Teaching! Miss Red Head

Second Post

I'm sorry. I know you are only suppose to post once a day, but I just posted my first freebie on TeachersPayTeachers. I'll post the final product shortly, but head over and download Place Mat Labels! Here's the Link! Enjoy!

Inspiration

I'm finally feeling motivated to get started preparing for this year! I say I'm ready to go back to work but I'm more ready for summer to be over than being prepared to go back to work. So I purchased my Staples Discount Card two weeks ago. It has more than bought itself. I have oodles of binders to put together and a project I'm going to work on this afternoon/evening since I have a lunch date with 3 pretty awesome people! One is my hallway partner. The other two are two paras that we have both worked with. So it will be a fun time. Poor skater child will not be with me, but napping at her great grandmother's house. :) Fun! She has been glued to me since June 22nd. She rarely lets me out of her eye site. Sometimes, I even have to tell her every detail of what I'm doing so she is calm when I'm not in the same room as her. Onto today's project. I am planning to make my own mini charts as Creative Teaching Press calls them. They look like this:

They are pretty awesome looking, but rather expensive. I was thinking of ordering about 4 sets and personalizing them for subjects on my Kidney table when I worked with small groups in Language Arts and Math, but decided that I could make those for a whole lot cheaper. So I bought Construction Paper (I'm debating about buying the small poster board packs, but not sure) and some glue. I need more printer ink, so I need to buy that before setting to work. I'm excited to get crafty, as it is not my strong point. Teaching Arts and Crafts this summer is certainly helping! I'd really love to redo my classroom in the Dots, but it isn't in the cards this year since I just redid my classroom LAST year and I have a ton of stuff to use up! I was hoping Carson Dellosa would come out with more Surfing Theme things, but it isn't shaping up that way. Well have a great day and I'm hoping to post many ideas that become reality over the next five days of no alarm clock! AHHHH!!!

I'm Crazy and I Know It!

This summer has been INSANE to say the least. I've already been on vacation, so I'm home for the rest of the summer. Well at least my town, since the bathroom remodel is taking FOR-EV-ER! My cousin passed away, now 15 days later my grandmother, who has been in the hospital for 2 months, passed away yesterday. It hasn't been fun. It has been a roller coaster. I broke down with my grandmother about 2 months ago and honestly started the grieving then, but together, I think it is going to be a very ugly two months until I go back. Poor skater child. I am so over summer and ready for work. I'm ready to jump in, feet first, and just start. I know it sounds odd, but my mind is craving sanity and teaching and being in my classroom gives me that. Skater child is amazing, but at her age and the sassy mouth = lots of tears (not from me, caused by me) because at 4, no child should be that sassy! Sleeping has been a hot mess, so yes, work, I NEED YOU! Right now, I'm working on a Shapes Packet for Teachers Pay Teachers, but I will be very nice and post a piece or two of it in the next day or so. Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! I've enjoyed mine with skater child, trying to get life sorted out. Pools and slides it is for the rest of the summer!

Living Near the Beach

I LOVE living at the beach. So much so, that I make my classroom a beach theme. I found that having this theme this year was EXTREMELY successful because I always felt at ease because I was in my comfort zone. I also feel it allowed me to connect with my students because it is something almost all students have done or heard about. I plan on posting some fun beach printables that I created and use in my classroom. If there is anything you would like to see added, please let me know. I plan on making this my weekend project. Have a great weekend! Miss Red Head

Looking Ahead

I started this blog to give to Skater Child to know what I do when I'm not with her. Recently, my cousin passed away at 35 years old. Was this expected? Yes and No. She was a Type 1 Diabetic. She also had Addison's Disease. She was not only my cousin, but my best friend. The sister I never had. Skater Child's God Mother. She was also a mom, wife, daughter, artist, sister, Girl Scout Leader. In conclusion, I don't want to leave the world with knowing that I've left my daughter a place to look to. A place to look to see how I changed the world, one class at a time. I may not touch the whole world, but I know I touch 20+ lives a year and what I do with them, may help other teachers and they help me as well, making my teaching better. Each summer I try to write down some goals I have for the school year. Normally, I jump head first into planning the day the current school year ends. This year I gave myself 3 weeks off. It has been insanely busy this summer. (PJ days?? What are those??) (Some days I'm at a family member's house, yeah, no being lazy). Summer camp, vacation, cousin passing away, summer camp, and free week with no plans, so today being the third free day, I'm posting my goals and getting a jump start on what I normally do in August, I'm going to plan to do slowly through the month. Goal 1: Propose to my admin why I should do Daily 5 with Cafe to boost my students learning instead of teaching to one specific group for 90 minutes. Goal 2: Implement Math Stations (I started last year, but this year, it will start in September, not January. Goal 3: Produce a weekly newsletter, instead of biweekly or month. Consistency is key! Goal 4: Try 1 pinterest idea a month. I love Pinterest, but I don't use it as much as I should. Goal 5: Use TeachersPayTeachers to sell some ideas. That's enough for now. I'm excited about this year and looking forward to doing even more this year with my class than last! Do you set goals for yourself every year?

Welcome and Currently

Hello! I'm finally jumping in head first and beginning my teaching blog. I have started ones in the past, but this is. My end all, be all. I plan to post here about my teaching lives. Two things you must know about me. I am a red head and I also seem to have all those students that just ramble on and on about anything to me, the class, or each other. Either way, there is a whole lotta rambling going on. To some, this might just be talking. To me, it shows learning. Okay, onto filling out my first currently.

Well I did it. I finished my first blog. I hope to make this site more creative and fun. Maybe a red head on my template or something? Who knows! ~Stephanie
