Bloggers don't have a staff room, while we do have conference it's hit or miss if you will see each other there , and trying to get a hold of another blogger by phone is about as hard as hearding cats. However I am so completely thankful for other bloggers who share the same triumphs and frustrations and most of all passion for getting kids to learn.

Janae for I Can Teach My Child

Cathy at Nurture Store

Marie from Make and Takes

and

Deborah from Teach Preschool

If you have never been to their sites I will chat with you next week because it will take that long for you to sort through all the brilliant ideas for learning, kids crafts and just plain old great writing. This is by no means an exhaustive list , there are so many great blogs out there but my turkey is calling my name.

I hope your thanksgiving is filled with reflection on not just the people in your neighborhood or office you are thankful for but those many miles and a few time zones away who still touch your lives.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I thought I'd seen and made every jelly fish craft ever, I was wrong. This is a new and awesome jelly fish from Preschool Playbook.

This is my last post on FamilyEducation.com. I have mixed feelings about this, but I know, in my heart of hearts, that the time is right to move on to other projects. After all, if you've read most/any of the posts over the course of these many months, you know that one thing remains constant for me: gotta keep living/chasing the dream. And the dream is ever-changing.

Why write about the sometimes seemingly random and silly things that are going on in my life for the world to read (or some fraction of the world, certainly)? The question has been posed. And, frankly, it’s a good one. I’m gonna give it my best shot to answer.
