Sharing Our Blessings 2025


This fall has been…a lot. Between school, life, and my little appendectomy disaster (10/10 do not recommend), I’ve had plenty of time to think about what really matters and what I’m most grateful for. Coming out on the other side of all that chaos, I’m feeling extra thankful for the people and communities that keep me going.

A few things at the top of my gratitude list:

  • My precious children

  • My supportive husband

  • My healthy parents

  • My wonderful brother

  • A job I love

  • Friends who get me

  • Being able to share my many blessings with others.

I’m participating in this year’s Sharing Our Blessings event, hosted by Laura Candler. Fourteen teacher-authors have teamed up to share some of our best resources — totally free during the event!

You’ll also have the chance to win a $25 gift card of your choice on each of the blog posts created for this event. Keep reading to get all the details!

If nobody has told you lately: what you do matters, and I’m really glad we’re in this together. 💛
