Book Character Pumpkins

Want to get your students excited about books?!? Have a book character pumpkin decorating contest. I just had one at my school and it was a HUGE success! We had 46 pumpkins entered into the contest and they were all fantastic. The media center was turned into a museum of pumpkins and kids loved showing off their pumpkins to their friends and teachers at school.

What to Wear on a Hiking/Camping Trip out West

As an avid outdoors gal, I am always trying to find good deals on versatile clothing to wear when hiking and camping. Smartwool and Lululemon are hands down my favorite brands.

Out Of The Dark & Into The Light

I am not one to talk about my personal life or insecurities, but here it goes. I recently lost 17 pounds and I'm feeling better than ever about myself. Was it easy?? No. It took a lot of dedication...BUT changing your eating habits can make a huge impact on your results. I teach dance fitness classes and I've done Boot Camps before...but didn't change my bad habits, so I didn't see the results I wanted. Sick of not seeing results, I simply changed the way I ate. Now that I've dropped the pounds, I'm going to the gym to tone up. "But you don't need to lose any weight!" I kept my feelings to myself because I didn't have a lot to lose compared to some, but being petite (standing at 5'2) those 17 extra pounds made a big difference. It was a terrible feeling.
