Since I've now started my blog I can check one item off of my list of goals for 2012. I've been contemplating what my blog should be about. What I came up with is what I know best---ME! I can blog about me. So maybe I should let you know a little about me. I'm normally a private person so blogging is a little "outside the box" for me.

MOM. I am the mom of the most precious 5 year old angelbaby in the world. She fills my life with purpose, laughter, love, and adventure. She awes me daily and I can't believe God trusts me enough to raise this angel.
EDUCATOR. I have been an elementary school teacher for 14 years. I'm always searching for unique ideas to inspire my students and make them enthusiastic learners! Something unique happens in our classroom daily without fail.

| 2 years natural |
HAIR JUNKIE. Okay, I get excited when I talk about hair! The sad thing is I suck at styling mine. I am a natural-hair wimp. I went completely natural for 2 whole years. The picture to the left is of my natural hair flat -ironed. It grew from above chin length to almost bra-strap length. But it was easy because I kept a sew-in 24/7. So finally I decided to give my natural hair a go. Can you say "FAIL"? I had not done my research on natural hair and had no idea why my hair wouldn't stay straight; why it wouldn't stay "stretched" and immediately "drew up" the second I stepped foot outside. My solution? Relaxer. All my 2 years of natural growth..down the drain..ugh!!!! I regretted it the minute I looked in the mirror at the hair salon and never got another relaxer. The next day, I got on the internet and found out these was a plethora of sites dedicated to natural hair, my fav being
www.curlynikki.com. So I started over again...as of today I am 1 year and 3 months natural. How have I been handling my hair, you ask? My hair BFF---sew-ins! I am going to do a series of mini-chops in between sew-ins until I am completely natural. Sorry..long story long.
MAKE-UPer. I am a neophyte at make-up, but I love experimenting with new colors and techniques. My make-up of choice is MAC, but I'm willing to try anything that works just as well. Currently, I am learning to contour and highlight, but I still haven't mastered this technique. My fav youtube make-up mentor is Megan. Her website is
www.ulovemegz.com. Check her out. She also has some great hair techniques.
EVENT PLANNER. This is the second item that I can check off my 2012 list of goals. Starting my event planning business! (yay me) This is something I've longed to do forever. It's my passion and I enjoy it! We're just in the very beginning stages but we've got big things planned. Check us out at
www.dreamersevents.org. We're still under construction but we're ready to get to work planning your birthday parties, showers, reunions, pageants, bachelor/bachelorette parties, girls' night out, weddings, etc!
Well this is just a little about me. Please leave me ideas, suggestions, comments, etc...let's blog!!
