Around the Valley by Jennifer Chasse

October 16, 2014
Hello neighbors and welcome new subscribers. I hope you are enjoying this weather as much as I am. I grew up in NH, and this crisp air just feels like home. I've got my crock pot working for me and dug out the boots and vests, and we are ready for fall! 

I'll trade this for the sunshine in Las Vegas for a few days of professional development with other Macaroni Kid Publishers. NRV is one of over 500 editions, and it's such a treat when we get together and learn and share. While we are there we will enjoy Blue Man Group- but I've got 4 tickets to give away this week for the Roanoke performance so be sure to enter! I'm sure I'll return with lots of fun swag to share from our sponsors, and check in on Facebook and Twitter to follow the fun.
