And it's begun..

And....we're off! I just began my 6th year teaching last week! It's hard to believe summer is coming to an end and the strong smell of burning leaves has already began....[sigh] I had a very eventful summer. It was mostly a very good summer and parts of it were GREAT, however, I am sad to say that I had some personal problems arise in my life, and my marriage ended. The divorce was finalized a few weeks ago, and I am definitely "okay" with it and I know in my heart it's for the best. 

Therefore, I am now "Ms. Kinsey" rather than "Mrs.". Despite going through a divorce, I am happy and content with the ways things are going in my life. Things are getting easier for us and I definitely believe this is all a part of God's perfect plan that he has in store for me. I feel as though I am able to concentrate on my work and my classroom way better without the distractions of home life interfering with my emotions and work.

 I am very excited for this year and I am more than ready to be the best momma and teacher I can possibly be. I am hoping for a successful year with TpT, and I am feeling very blessed that I began my store when I did because I am depending on it now more than ever before!

I took a break from TpT and blogging for awhile while I straightened my life out, and now I am ready to get back into the swing of things. If you aren't already following me, please do! I am excited to share some of my lessons and ideas as well as freebies every now and then! I pray each one of you has a successful school year whether you are a teacher or a parent! Have a SpaRkliNg Monday!!
