| Introduction | I am a mother to 2 boys, a wife, a sister, a daughter, an auntie, and a friend. I am a teacher, with experience in Learning Assistance and Learning Disabilities, and French Immersion. This year I am teaching grade one in French Immersion. I also have a somewhat under-utilized degree in International Relations. I frequently teach 3 year olds and their parents early literacy within the framework of the national Parent-Child Mother Goose program. This has been more delightful than I could have imagined. I have also enjoyed teaching French to adults and I regularly tutor children in English and French. A few years ago, I started beading as a kind of "brain-break" and I now have a small business making one-of-a-kind jewelery, which is where "just a little something" comes from (I was always giving friends "just a little something" i had made). And finally, I am passionate about Life Art: Photography + Words = Scrapbooking for the new millenium. I taught scrapbooking classes as a Creative Memories consultant and I recently taught an altered clipboard class for a local scrapbooking store. I enjoy writing, so a blog seemed a pretty obvious next step. Welcome! |

I have discovered John Mayer - great lyricist and superb blues guitarist. |

Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?
because raspberries taste like summer and lying on the grass with your shoes off, trying to see past the hot BLUE sky out into the universe
