Welcome to my Blog!

I have recently delved into the realm of blogs and wikis in my professional life - making handbooks, discussing books, etc., but had nowhere to muse about my non-professional life. I needed a place to talk about those OTHER things that are important to me - things outside those 8+ hours I spend in my Media Center each day. (Though I am sure that some of it will finds its way here, too!) SO... Welcome to my "Other Stuff" Blog. Please comment about anything of interest - I am sure that there are others of you out there who need an "Other" outlet, too.

Me - I am a mom of 2 great kids - happily married ... good golly - 15 years in March! Life certainly seems to speed up as we go along. I enjoy a cozy home, a purring cat, and a loving extended family. I love to read, play with my kids, garden and travel when I can. When I'm not doing those things, I am a Library Media Specialist (Librarian) in a large, progressive primary school for kindergarten through 2nd graders - absolutely adore my job! Work with a wonderful principal - wonderful teachers - and truly great students. Reading this over, it seems I live a graced life, and I do. I am blessed beyond measure - though, like all of us, sometimes seem to overlook that stressing about the little stuff.

Non-professional blogging is new to me, but I look forward to sharing the stuff of life here, and hopefully finding out that the world is a little bit smaller place.
