School. It seems like from the moment the last bell rings to the morning of the return flies by ever-so-quickly. The lazy days of summer will be gone before you know it and you’ll find yourself scrambling to get the kids back into some sort of routine so that those first few weeks back aren’t too stressful.

Yes, I speak from past experience. It’s hard not to let the kids stay up late and sleep in; it’s even more challenging to make sure they don’t forget everything that they had learned over the summer.  However, the back to school season is an exciting one – one filled with new friends, new teachers, and new field trip adventures.

I have never really acknowledged an/or celebrated this website’s anniversary before. I think it’s probably because I’m normally in such a hurry all of the time that I don’t look back and reflect on how far this website has come over the course of 5 years.

Just over 5 years ago I realized that many of the website’s I saw and sought out for information and inspiration weren’t just big company sites, but they were actually created and managed by a real person. Having always loved to write and share ideas the wheels in my head began turning and I soon began searching up ways to create my own website and on April 13th 2012 the rough draft for this site was born. It’s been quite a journey over the past 5 years. I have researched and learned so much from mainly trial and error. From site design to photography and editing, it’s been 5 years of fun and constant growth – and I don’t forsee that changing anytime soon, because there is so much more for me to learn.
