Here I am again...

I have dabbled with blogging on and off for the last few years.  I love reading other teacher's blogs, I love teaching, and I love writing...so it would seem a perfect fit.  So why can't I stick with it?  That is a good question.  I always start out good in the summer and blog several times a week, often even daily.  And then school starts...you know how it is.

I really hope this time is different though, because I truly enjoy writing to you all.  You are out there listening reading, right?  Hello?

My goal is to blend all of my loves together into this new blog, which I have cleverly named, "Coming Up Apples."  Obviously that is a play on the whole teacher and apple stereotype.  However, it also blends with my new Paleo obsession---more on that later!  And of course, like most elementary teachers, I am obsessed with all things crafty and cute.  We shall see how well I can blend these loves together.

So now, a little about me...
1. I am 27 years old.
2. I will begin my 5th year teaching on August 6.  (Yes that is TOO soon!)
3. I have always taught 3rd grade.
4. I was born, raised, and currently live in Kentucky!  Go Big Blue!
5. I am an only child.
6. My dog is like my child!
7. I am obsessed with Project Life!

Stay Tuned...There's a lot more to come!
