Winter Break!

Welcome! I've taken some time off of the blogging world because of our crazy schedule. While I love some cold weather, this snow and ice is just too much for this southern gal! I feel very out of touch & out of the loop because of having so much time off. Luckily, technology helps us connect and communicate even on our days off! I hope you and your child will find some of these resources helpful over the next couple of days! -Miss Ary
