Welcome

Hello everyone! Thanks for taking the time to read my first post. I am so excited about this new adventure. If you are a twitter follower, I am the tweep formerly known as @martiferg. Why did I change my name? Several reasons, first because I wanted something linked to a blog. Second, because I wanted something meaningful. Third, kind of creepy having something so closely tied to my name.

I am a 30 something mom of 3 children. E who is 8, Ry who is 5, and baby RJ who is presently 8 1/2 months old. I used to teach special education, more specifically children on the spectrum. I did in-class support, self contained k-2 autism, and then early intervention for children under the age of 3 on the spectrum. I miss teaching, but I love being home with my children more than anything. The days are so long, but I am finding that the quote rings true about the years being short. Time is already flying by so quickly.

People ask me all the time what the next step is in my career, and frankly to be honest, I am not sure. I loved being a teacher, but I am not sure what I will do when RJ is a little older. In the meantime, I am hoping to blog and to continue being very involved in the schools but this time as a parent.

Each day is a gift. No day is perfect, but I do find that there is something perfect or good in every day, and I have peace knowing that I am right where I need to be. I would like to use this blog to share everything from positive quotes, MOMents that I am grateful for daily, and even money saving tips. Thank you for coming along on my journey and wishing you a great day.
