Back in Action

I'm back in action and starting anew!

I got my start in the blogging world with a blog I updated rather frequently (almost every-other-day) for the last two years.  It was mostly focused on the trials and tribulations of a non-tenured high school art teacher- the lessons I taught, the tools I used, and the artwork created by my students. I *loved* how that blog allowed me to showcase and celebrate the successes of my students outside of school.  I also loved all of the fantastic art-teacher-blogger friends it introduced me to.  However, toward the end of last year, I was craving a change.

I was starting to feel limited about what I could and couldn't share on a blog that was so much connected to my professional life.  I was getting tired of finding ways to keep that blog as anonymous as possible.  And while teaching is a huge part of who I am, in my fifth year, I'm fast discovering that it isn't all of who I am.  I decided then to close up that chapter of my blogging life and start this one.

I'm hoping this blog will become a place where I can continue share a general tips and tricks of the teaching trade, but focus a little bit more on sharing some of my own creative endeavors, funny stories, travel experiences, and so much more.  I'm hoping for it to be yet another creative outlet for me, as it seems I can never have too many!

Welcome to my attempt at postponing the madness!
