I would love to get married in Italy. I have never been but the pictures of it look absolutely beautiful.

I started a blog because I wanted to meet new teachers that had the same passion for teaching that I had. I am excited to have found so many wonderful bloggers so far. I also can't wait to meet more teachers.

5. What is your favorite blog (besides mine)?

This is so hard! There are so many wonderful blogs out there. However, my favorite blog is Teri’s from A Cupcake for the Teacher. I love all of her products and she has wonderful ideas.

6. Do you have a special talent?
I’m not sure this is a talent but I have a knack for remembering people’s names. This always comes in handy at the beginning of the year and matching parents to their kids.

7. What is the last book you read?
Lucy Caulkins “Writer’s Workshop” Hopefully this summer I will be able to enjoy some personal reading.

8. What's the number one most played song on your itunes?

Right now it is the new Blake Shelton song “Boys Around Here.” It is so catchy and perfect for summer.

Not having student loans. I love that I have my degrees but Oi I hate that bill each month. (Especially the amount of that particular bill.)

10. What chore do you hate the most?

I actually have 2…I hate to clean the oven and fold my cloths. I will bargain, beg, and pled not to do either of these things. The weird thing is that I don’t mind actually doing the laundry. It is just the folding and putting away of all the clean clothes.

11. What is your favorite time of day/day of the week/month of the year?

I love September. Even with all the craziness of getting my classroom together and meeting new students it is still my favorite time of year. Plus I am usually tired of all the hot weather by then and ready for warm sweaters and pumpkin spice lattes.

Favorite Place to Shop: Nordstroms and Amazon

Favorite TV Show: Big Bang Theory and Criminal Minds

I love cop dramas but my favorite is Criminal Minds. I have been following it for years and I am totally invested in all the characters. When I need a pick me up, I watch The Big Bang Theory. It makes me laugh so hard!

Favorite Sweet Treat: pistachio gelato

It is so much creamier than ice cream. It is delicious! Perfect on a hot sunny day.

Favorite Food: Sushi

I love sushi. There is a place near my house that makes non-traditional sushi. They have similar rolls but they are all unique to that particular place. It is just as good.

Favorite Restaurant: Cosmo's
