Diving In...

well here it goes... always a daunting task of trying something new.  i am super excited to start a blog about my family, interests and my career, and i can only hope that my blog will be as interesting as the many that i so enjoy reading.

a little about myself... i am a mother of 3 children (2 biologically and 1 through my spouse).  our two boys (liam- 3 years, and dylan- 1 year) live with us in a small town in northern alberta, and our daughter (mekayla- 5 years) lives in quebec with her mother.  the boys are active and keep me on my toes, and they bring many precious moments which i will always treasure- from dylan learning how to play the harmonica and laughing hysterically at the sound that it makes, to liam saying to me that he can't sleep because he has a "super-duper wedgie".  maybe these are not the sort of things that you should share to the world, but they are the moments that make me smile.

i recently returned to work (after my maternity leave) to the same job with a brand new twist.  i am normally a secondary math/science teacher, but i was privileged to experience the exciting challenge of teaching kindergarten.  some of you may be wondering why a teacher would choose not to use a single capital, but it's nice to take a moment away from "following the rules"... oh and i did mention that i am a math teacher?  back to kindergarten... i would have to say that the remainder of the school year (we're now on summer holidays) was one of the most rewarding times of my teaching career.  i am very much looking forward to the next school year, and hope to share some of those amazing moments with the blogging world.

so feel free to read, comment and share your opinions.  i am pretty easy-going, and would love to hear from you.  until next time...
