Teacher Week: Classroom Digs (a sneak peek!)
I just went into my classroom for the first time this week. I spent quite a few hours there yesterday doing a little painting and a whole lot of staring at the space.

Potato Blueberry Stamps
I know, I should be starting on apple and pumpkin crafts, but I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to summer.

Last week my husband and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary by taking a road trip up to Acadia National Park in Maine. On the way up, it seemed there were "Wild Maine Blueberry" signs and stands at every corner. We didn't buy any blueberries, but I did pick up One Morning…
