School's out for summer! Which means I'm hittin' the road.

Hi everyone,

Well, we haven't quite made our updating goal for 2013, but the year is only halfway over and it's never too late to try again, right?

As usual, once school winds down for all of my teacher friends, my busy season on the road starts!  This summer is already off to a bang-- in the last week, I've gotten to spend some time in one of my very favorite cities, Nashville!  Thanks everyone who showed up on Thursday and Friday!  Jeff and I also got to do something very special-- we made it to FanFest this year!  It's hard to pick a favorite, but we had some highlights: Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, and Keith Urban were all hard to beat!

Jeff and I, rocking out!  Doesn't Jeff look happy?  :)

I'm currently in Phoenix with my dear friend, Patti Launi, who was also one of my very first Kim Sutton Associates!  If you're in the Arizona/New Mexico area, you NEED to check Patti out here.  Thanks to everyone in my class today-- what fun!

So what are you going to do with your "free time" (haha!) this summer?  Are there any series you need to get caught up on?  My husband and daughter keep trying to get me to watch "Game of Thrones" but I keep hearing nice things about this "Downton Abbey."

If you're like me and you're thinking of your classroom even in the summer, have you checked out my free download section at my website?  I post all my conference handouts and freebies from my classes here.  I'll be posting exclusive pictures of some of these activities to my Pinterest board and Facebook in the next week (which you can find by clicking the icons on my blog), so stay tuned for those!

Back home tomorrow for a few days and then I'll be coming to see my friends in Kansas!  I'll be posting some fun and blog-exclusive video clips soon!!
