Welcome to stop #6 along the Back to School is Better With Friends Blog Hop! I’m so glad you’ve stopped by!
I’ve been blogging now for a little over two years.
Last year, I took a new step in my blogging journey and started making classroom resources to share with others. I never expected to meet a fabulous group of ladies who have become wonderful friends whom I speak to almost every day. We live in many different states, and teacher in different schools and grades, and yet we share our stories and laughter and have each other to call on when things just aren’t going the ‘right’ way.
They all mean the world to me, and when the idea of a blog hop was talked about, we knew that we had to do it together. Back to School With Friends is a title that truly sums up our friendship – one that extends past this lovely group of ladies, and to all of you, too.
Thank you for being a part of my blogging life! I hope we all get to share many more stories together.

Friends help me bounce ideas off of them and share lots of ideas with me. Sometimes they will help me decorate my room.
