Welcome to Litsy!

I‘m finished decorating my mortarboard. Each book is a chapter of my life. It was fun designing this on Canva.

Chapter 1: Once Upon a Time.
Chapter 2: Making Besties.
Chapter 3: Marriage, Kids, Grief.
Chapter 4: The Awkward Years.
Chapter 5: Making Mistakes is Part of Life.
Chapter 6: Growth.
Chapter7: This Chapter is Sponsored by Hard Work & Coffee.
Chapter 8: The Last All-Nighter.
Chapter 9: The Best is Yet to Come.

In 2017 my son and I graduated at the same ceremony, his was for B.Arts and mine was Dip. Family History.

I couldn‘t have done this school year without these 3 lovely t.as … they offered my kiddos so much love and support and my classroom won‘t be the same without them! So proud of them and can‘t wait to see the great things in their future! #proudteacher

I can‘t believe this little lady spent her last day in kindergarten today!!! So proud of how much she learned this year!!

I am so proud of this guy and even though I will miss him in my classroom every day I know he will do great things in the world! #proudteacher

I am officially a library master! (ok the ceremony isn‘t for a few hours yet, but i am calling it.) #LibrariansofLitsy #Graduation2018

Finally, the party and commencement are over and Baby Girl has graduated! Maybe now I can get back to reading in my free time.

It's finally done! Yay!🎓🎓🎓

I am so relieved my student teaching is over: I can actually read (and sleep) again!

My new favorite kids' picture book takes on the subject of bullying without ever using that word. It's so beautiful it makes me cry. Out 3/21 from Ripple Grove Press, an independent children's book publisher in Portland, Oregon.
