Bio
I’m a child of God, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, a teacher, a friend, and I have been blogging since 2006. Over at my other site, History Is Elementary, I have a wealth of postings regarding historical content, lesson ideas, opinions regarding education, and even some personal musings. I also maintain Georgia on My Mind, which is a website hub for Georgians who blog, contains postings regarding the state of Georgia and her history, and I organize the bi-monthly Georgia Carnival every other week. As a child of God I also blog about Biblical history, archaeology, and my own journey through Scripture at the blog Got Bible?. Finally, I’m one of the contributors to the American President's Blog. Since 1998, I have been an educator….coming into the profession a bit late due to my job as a wife and mother and via a career as a paralegal. Once my youngest began school, I began teaching. I have taught fourth and fifth grade mainly in a departmentalized setting where students changed classes and teachers could focus on their areas of content strength. Luckily I have always had an administrator who understood at first glance that my passion was history, and it has been a joy and an honor to bring America’s story to hundreds of children west of Atlanta. I also enjoy bringing history to the world at large through my postings at History Is Elementary. Look for links to my other sites below.

I’ve been in the middle of home renovations for what seems like forever.  New hardwood floors, new appliances, updated furniture, etc.  We get one room halfway cleaned up, and it’s time to tear another one down not to mention the decisions on color, fabric, and window treatments.  I don’t do well in that type of situation…it takes me to long because I like so many things.

 

Two things I haven’t thought of during our renovation is making our home smaller and actually removing the plumbing….totally. I mean, I’m five weeks out from having intestinal surgery.  Believe me, I have issues in that area.

 

Why on earth would anyone want to remove their indoor plumbing?

   Check out my latest post over at American Presidents Blog for the answer.
