Don't be too harsh on my lack of blog creativity because I am just starting out. But I thought this would be a great way to keep track of friends and family that we don't see too often.

Also, I had an ingenious idea today sitting in training...I would use the blog to promote AmeriCorps and to get the word out in my community (and to all of you) about what it is and how you can help! As an overview, it is a volunteer and service organization under the govenment to promote literacy in grades k-12...and we are in need of volunteers at all of the schools, especially parent volunteers who help in classrooms and with tutoring reading. It is a blast and very rewarding either as a parent or AmeriCorps member. I'll keep it posted as I learn more about it myself! Stay tuned....
