Apologies!

Hi everyone! I am sorry I haven't been posting much. My husband and I PCS'd last summer and I have been trying to find a good balance between work and home. I was working at the CDC on base until I realized how much I missed teaching the elementary grades. So, I decided to go back to substitute teaching. For the last 4 months I have been super busy teaching 1st grade for a teacher who was out on maternity leave and DH was in and out for work so I didn't have much time to work on my blog. Now that I am free until August I should be posting more. I look forward to sharing some new tips and recipes with you soon!
