I'm Back!

I'm Back! Sorry It's been a while! I've been crazy busy with home, family, school, and life! I'm pretty excited to begin sharing again! Since I've been away I have been addicted to Pinterest! What a great way to share ideas! The only problem is I have been looking at all the great ideas, but not actually TRYING the great ideas!


One thing I am excited to share is that the School Counselors and myself are putting together a monthly newsletter! It's been fun writing for "Silcott Spotlight," my section of the page! I share parenting tips. Tips that I have had to learn the hard way by raising my son and daughter! I encourage my readers to learn from mystakes! Sharing failures with my readers can be quite humbling, but it can also be a bonding mechanism. Lets face it. School staff can be intimidating to parents. I know I'm still a little intimidated when I'm in the Principal's office. A Principal's office and all that it represents has a very lasting effect on children! By sharing with readers that I do support and work with families, parents, teachers, students and the community, this doesn't mean that I don't need support too! Like I tell a lot of people, no family is perfect! Escpecially mine! WE ALL NEED SUPPORT! We all need to seek guidance. I believe we are all in this together!

Which makes me think of this blog! Whoever is reading this probably has a job like mine. Those who are kind enough to post school ideas on Pinterest probably have a job like mine. We seem to be uniting through technology! I feel like I have been mentored by some great ones like Danielle Schultz, Marissa over at Marissa's Blog, and Tabitha Panariso! I love all the ideas that I see at my schools and knowing they originated from the kindness of those willing to share!

I know it's time for me to contribute! So keep in touch...more is on the way!
