Blank Slate

The floors are waxed, chairs are stacked, and it's time to get the classroom ready for a new year. I love this time of the school year because everything is fresh and new, like a blank slate. I feel like a painter... ready to unlock my creativity on a new white canvas.



Here are all of the boxes that I will be unpacking the next few days.


Check back soon to see how everything turns out.
