Why do you blog?

I just started blogging because I want the motivation to do fun, creative and pretty things. I am a meat and potatoes kind of teacher. I tend to focus on the curriculum and let the fluff go. Well the kids deserve the fluff, they deserve pretty things. Doesn't pretty things make us all smile??? To my quest to be pretty............

I also want to connect with parents.  I am finding out that most want to do things with the kids at home but many are not sure what to do.  We all know how the teacher/parent relationship can help or hinder a child's education.  I am here to help!!  It really can be very simple.  I am very simple.  I hope to learn things from each other.
