September (OMG!) Currently!

I know I have been saying how fast summer went by but really its been crazy, I think its because I am in school and spent lots of time doing school stuff still. I just cant believe how fast it went by. The last two weeks of summer the kids and I jam packed fun summer stuff into the days we had left. After Great Wolf (see older post) we did lego store, parks, swimming and build a bear! The kids have been so good all summer about our lack luster days of fun while I went to school, it was well worth the wait they had so much fun!

So here is this months Currently that I participate in with some teacher friends of mine over at Oh Boy 4th Grade check her out sometime!

September is Thyroid Cancer Awareness month, I am 4 years cancer free this year (December!) and want to share with you this link so you can learn more and learn how to check your neck!

Not a morning goes by that I dont think about the past 4 years (especially the first one) since my diagnosis. I take medication daily and will for the rest of my life.

I picked up my camera for the first time in a few weeks.  I needed a break, if you may not know I had a drastic change from being a photographer to going back to school to be a teacher. It was 100% the right choice I had been putting off and I am thrilled with the direction I am going. Photography however is still a huge part of who I am and always will be, picking up my camera and being behind the lens is just very important to me.


I have been menu planning for a few years now, doing a week at a time sitting down Thursday nights and planning out the coming weeks dinners and then making my grocery list. I decided recently to sit down once a month and do a months worth at a time! Its been so nice, I am only a week into my first month of course but we will see. Its well worth the few hours of prep time, knowing whats for dinner makes it easy when I get home or have a meeting or if I am not home and my husband knows whats in the fridge ready to be made or already made in some cases.
