My First Blog Post (Original, Right?)

Here it is. My very first post. This blog has been sitting here for a little over a year ripening. I created this blog as I sat in limbo, waiting for a teaching contract. Thankfully I was able to get into a classroom last year, but I was in pure survival mode. There was no time for blogging. Or sleeping. Don't let that title, "first year teacher", fool you into thinking that I am a fresh, right out of college, spring chicken ready to mold the minds of our youth. Actually- that all sounds pretty nice, you can use all of those as my descriptors! In reality I am a 29-year-old wife and mother of three boys. I tackled parenting, marriage, college, and illness, all at the same time! A little unconventional, but it is what got us to where we are today. This blog is an outlet for my story- our story- and all of the beautiful, homegrown chaos that has arisen, (and is still arising!) from our experiences. Maybe it will be a look into our past or our future, maybe it will be a post on the challenges (or the hilarities) of parenting. Maybe it will be a tutorial on how to make shampoo bars. By the way, I have never made a shampoo bar in my life, but it seems like a pretty cool thing to try. Maybe no one will ever read this. That's okay. Maybe it will speak to millions. That's even better :). I am excited to see where this blog will take me.

Until next time,

XOXO Aly
