Meet the Teacher (Linky)

Hi Everyone!  My name is Hilary and this is my FIRST Linky Party!!!  I’m super excited and a bit nervous – Here I go!!!

I am an (almost) 40 year old wife, mother, teacher and brand new blogger in Southeast Michigan!!!  This is my 14^th (wow that sounds strange!!!) year of teaching and my 4^th in Kindergarten.  I taught 2^nd grade prior to heading over to Kinderland.  I love my job and am looking forward to starting the year with my new Kinder-babes soon!

I married my super-dooper husband (who is also a teacher!!!) 12 amazing years ago!  He is a wonderful friend, father and husband and I am truly blessed to call him my own!  I have 4 amazing children – Bubba is 17 and a SENIOR in High School (sniff-sniff), a ten year old PipSqueak, an almost 4 (in October) Monkey and finally my almost 2 (again in October) Sassy Girl!  Yes, I have quite the age gap between my children but God has blessed me over and over again so I am truly grateful for what he has given me!!  3 boys and the baby is a girl –I LOVE being a mom!!!

I have really enjoyed starting my blog and my TPT store this summer.  It’s been a super fun experience and I am looking forward to watching them both grow and develop over the coming months!!  Stop by often as I would LOVE to hear comments, suggestions and anything else you might have J

 Here I am with my sweet hubby, Bubba, PipSqueak, Monkey Boy and my Sassy Girl!!  I am so blessed to have such an amazing family!  They sure do keep me busy but young!!!

All my loves and I on vacation last year!!
