This year, she played the part of a completely different personality...that of Amber von Tussle in the musical, Hairspray. We enjoyed watching her transform from her usual sweet, … Continue reading A True Actress

France Under My Feet
It is no secret to those who know me, that I have had a lifelong love for France and the French language. Though I majored in French in college, I have never had an opportunity to travel there. At times, I've felt like I pined for it. When I hear the French language spoken, I … Continue reading France Under My Feet

What Was I Thinking…
Our Spring Break is now over...I'm sending the kids off to school as we speak I type.
