November 2, 2014 By //  by Ashley Leave a Comment

It’s a beautiful thing when life comes full circle. My first year of teaching first grade (I’ve taught fifteen years in second) and I kept thinking of my beloved first grade teacher, Mrs. Lane.

Letters from three famous Americans that are out of the little sewing box

April 14, 2013 By //  by Ashley Leave a Comment

There’s a charming German phrase, “Aus dem nähkästchen redden.” It means “out of the little sewing box.” I imagine old ladies knitting and gossiping as they sip tea.
