When I began my journey as a teacher in 2005, I figured I’d teach my kiddos how to read, write, be good citizens and friends. I’d collaborate with staff, grade papers when I got home, and leave the rest in the classroom. You know, the usual. I had no idea teaching would be the way it is today. Or heck, I’d be the teacher I’ve become. I have a special Instagram and Facebook dedicated to teaching {that’s not normal for most}!!! When the girls at work heard that I have a “Teacher Instagram,” they told me that I need a life {joking of course}!
But thanks to social media and TpT, I’ve “met” some awesome teachers from all over the country who are just as crazy passionate as myself. We collaborate daily, learn about one another through photos, and share in each others setbacks and milestones. I’d seen other teachers in Indy, Florida, Nashville, and South Carolina meet up with each other, so why not here in sunny Southern California?!?! I enlisted the help from a former co-worker, Courtney over at Ramona Recommends and we set a date.
Courtney is the creative one of the bunch and I’m more into organizing and planning. She made the most adorable invite and name tags. She even had a local bakery make the cutest California-shaped cookies. They were a huge hit!

We did change the location to The Cheesecake Factory |

These cute name tags made me feel so “grown-up” |

Are these not just the cutest things you’ve ever seen??? |

My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none
the less. I've been using Movable-type on various websites for
about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform.
I have heard fantastic things about blogengine.net.
Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
