Also, the way you hare your recipes, about the same way I share mine. When I write a recipe for a friend, I write a group of ingredients, then share how to make that part of the recipe too. Thanks for sharing!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08504021329090343844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623073248513759374.post-10159834060281641502014-01-17T20:32:19.521-08:002014-01-17T20:32:19.521-08:00Guess what?

Therefore, I absolutely rejoiced when I found your blogs! I commend you and sincerely appreciate you sharing your hard work and creative ideas. I can only imagine how iconic you are to your students, as well as your family. I have never commented on a blog before, but I felt it necessary to express thanks and gratitude for being so open with the public. It's made a big difference in my teaching and journey through motherhood! You've so eloquently displayed your passion for life, albeit revealing the everyday normalcies all moms can relate to. I adore your tongue in cheek title. I could go on and on about how amazing you are, so I'll sum it up with this: YOU GO GIRL! <br /><br />-Grateful Fan Sarah Turnbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03976417564203123532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623073248513759374.post-9279808661776030962014-01-05T18:55:51.665-08:002014-01-05T18:55:51.665-08:00I have been reading this blog, your family blog an...I have been reading this blog, your family blog and (mostly) your teaching blog for a few years and you are so, SO talented at what you do on all fronts! It baffles my mind that people have negative things to say at all about you, not that you put up a perfect front but because you just seem so real. I've never commented before but wanted you to know that the nice words may not be as loud in internetland but they are so deserved!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09039351378952032327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623073248513759374.post-44282234903781842692014-01-03T07:34:18.334-08:002014-01-03T07:34:18.334-08:00Ohmiword!

You are always coming up with the best names for things. I usually have a boring name for a center like "match a word". Boring! I try to think, "what would Cara Carroll name this?" I wish that worked! ha! I'm sorry you got some nasty emails though. :( I totally appreciate your play on words and seriously get a giggle from so many of your names for centers and stuff. Keep it coming! Your creativity shines through this way. I just love to see what you come up with! <br />Sarah Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846306676553976451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8623073248513759374.post-66853823803056833482013-11-27T16:35:39.816-08:002013-11-27T16:35:39.816-08:00I've followed your blog for about a year now a...I've followed your blog for about a year now and I really, really love the name!
