I feel very blessed to have 2 beautiful girls.  We love to spend time together  "crafting", playing soccer (In House, Travel and Cup) and swimming. We also love to watch our black and gold teams - we will not miss a Pens game (we all have our favorite players), and a typical Steeler Sunday consists of the game, wings and family. Yes, we also LOVE to HATE some teams as well... The Capitals and Ravens rank right up there, along with the Patriots and Flyers.

 

I am an avid reader, and always spend the summer catching up on my favorite authors new releases.   Several names in my favorite author category are Meghan Quinn, JR Ward, LJ Shen, Lila Monroe, Lauren Blakely, Vi Keenland, Jacob Chance, Lucy Score and Claire Kingsley.  The TBR list on my kindle is... yikes! way too long :) I may or may not be *slightly* addicted to my kindle.   I am always looking to add to my long book list of must-reads, so suggestions are welcome.  I LOVE to read, read, read!  

 

Being a North Allegheny graduate, it is my pleasure to return to the district as an employee.  Currently, I am in my 22nd year with NA.  After working at Peebles Elementary in K-2 for 2 years, and then Franklin Elementary in Kindergarten for 6 years, I have found my home at McKnight Elementary.  This is my 14th year at McKnight..
