The 3am Teacher: Happy Birthday

This time last year I was really going through a storm and spilled my heart in a blog post. Some of you may have read that post and some of you may have not, but either way, I am in a much better place this year than I was last year. I don't believe that I will ever truly be "over" the trauma of my childhood, but I am ready for new doors to open and old doors to close. I think that sometimes we need to open those past doors in order to move forward and doing that was more difficult that giving birth to my two children. I am so thankful for my blogging friends!!! I have become closer to many of you than I have my own family and I am blessed by all of your lives, input, funny stories, quirky personalities, your giving hearts, honesty, your tears, and your friendships!! Thank you for being such a blessing in my life!!

NOW..... for this year's party to get started!!!

The discount code at my Etsy shop has been activated and I also marked down my TpT shop 15% off all day today!! Happy savings to you!!
