New Adventures

Well, it has finally happened. I have started a blog! I have several friends who have had blogs for as long as they have been created, but I did not see a purpose for having one for myself. The funny thing is... I explore other people's blogs all the time! My weekly Pinterest time often leads me to someone's blog where I can find fun decoration or recipe ideas, and I use them all the time for finding new ideas of things to use in my classroom.

So why did I think blogs weren't my thing? To be honest, I don't see myself as a creative writer! Who wants to read a boring blog that isn't well written and doesn't have a specific purpose? I have had issues with creative writing since high school. I had one of those experiences with a course that I never expected, and my teacher ended up inadvertently squashing my creative writing juices. While I've tried to recover from my experience, I still don't have the passion to write anymore.

Why start a blog now? Good question! One of my mentors started one a few years ago and has recently seen tremendous results in her classroom because of that blog. After talking with her, I am ready to give it a shot! I want my students to see the fun and engaging purpose of a blog, whether it is for personal or professional use. I want to be able to share my ideas and inspirations with my followers. And what if I find the most amazing homemade frozen yogurt recipe that I've ever tasted... wouldn't it be nice of me to share?!

So now the adventure begins. While I can't promise to be a faithful blogger, I will promise to do my best to provide quality blogs that will either inform, educate, or entertain my readers. I hope you enjoy my blog and support my on my new adventure. If you have suggestions on topics you want me to discuss, leave a comment! I'm open to all ideas!!!
