Teaching by Day, Bloggin by Night
My first post! Finally, I got to this point, but there is
still so much I am learning about blog design and code. Thanks to my wonderful
hubby and some inspiring female entrepreneurs, here I am! So, there will likely be changes to my blog
for the next several months as I perfect everything. There should be “caution”
tape or “under construction” options for people that want to start posting on
their blogs but are still working on their design.
Let’s backup…
I started on my path to teaching in 2005, when I graduated
from high school. I immediately started working at a child development center
and was in my first quarter of college. Initially, I wanted to be a graphic designer.
Long story short—despite my desire to create and design, I decided to become a
teacher because working with children felt like my true calling. Plus, as a
teacher, you have so many opportunities to create! It is the best of both
worlds.
Many, many, months later I obtained my early childhood
education degree. Then it was a whirlwind of major life changes! I got married,
moved an hour away from my home town, started teaching kindergarten and best of
all…had my beautiful baby girl! I have a lot to be thankful for.
Suddenly, the New Year hit. Of course, this is a very inspiring time
of the year! I felt like doing big things! Yet, I have so many passions. I thought about all of the things I liked and
decided it would be fun to create some products for Teachers Pay Teachers.
After researching how to do that I discovered to be successful on TPT many
people start a blog! Soooo, I spent several nights reading popular teacher
blogs & researching how to start a blog. I couldn’t wrap my head around actually
paying someone to design my blog when I love to design. The next couple weeks I
enjoyed playing around with different ideas in my head. I created a header with scrapbook paper and Picmonkey,
(LOVE me some Picmonkey!) and decided on a name. I have a lot of tweaking to do,
(not twerking…sorry Miley) but I’m determined that this is something that will
really be an enjoyable hobby for myself. Not to mention, all of the
collaborating with amazing teachers that I’m hoping to do!
I wanted to make my first post
short and sweet and that didn’t happen. ;) If you seriously just read all of this,
leave me a comment! Come back and visit! Would love to chat with some fellow
teacher blog ladies! :D
