My family spent last week at the Happiest Place on Earth, Disneyland. It’s been several years since we made the trek south. The drive takes a minimum of 6 hours from our home, but can take much longer depending on the dreaded L.A. traffic. After three magical days, we came home. Leaving the park is always bittersweet.

Last week, I worked all week as a substitute teacher in a kindergarten classroom. It was so much fun, but also very exhausting. Those little ones take every bit of my energy. I’ll be back in Kindergarten tomorrow, but only for one day this time. May is always a crazy month for me and this year it seems even crazier.
