I'd like to thank Little Miss EduGator, kinderdoodlez, My Life at the Pencil Sharpener, and lisateachr for nominating me for the Liebster award!!!
1. Why and how long ago did you start blogging?
I started blogging this past summer. This was the first summer that I wasn't working at a camp or taking classes and I needed something fun to fill my time.
2. What one word sums up the heart of your blog and why?
Sharing: I love sharing ideas and activities that have worked in my classroom. I also offer Freebies with many of my posts.
3. Is there something you learned late in your blog journey you wished you knew before?
Google+ can be a great way to network and get your blog noticed.
4. What is your favorite past time other than blogging?
I love to go hiking. We actually have some pretty decent trails here in Jersey.
5. How many hours per week do you dedicate to your blog?
Not enough :( I typically spend 2 hours a week networking and promoting but I would like to dedicate more time to creating quality posts.
6. What category of blog posts do you enjoy the most?
I love seeing activities and tips in action. Seeing the inside of other classrooms, it helps inspire my own teaching.

8. Of which post that you have written are you most proud?
I loved sharing my classroom makeover. My family and friends loved seeing it all come together.

I've been meaning to do a post on sensory activities. I just need to collect some great images to make the post come to life.10. What is your favorite aspect of blogging?
I love connecting with other educators. I have a great Kindergarten team and we share everything, but it is nice to see what people are doing in other districts and states.
