I’m glad you are here to celebrate! Share a link to your blog post below and/or use #celebratelu to share celebrations on Twitter.
Here’s my celebration:
I’m the kind of mom who can load up her four kids and drive across several states — more than 8 hours — to visit her in-laws in Tennessee. We had fun and remained joyful and there were no blow ups or melt downs.

Hello there! May you find inspiration to celebrate your story, even in the middle of the muddle.
I’m the director of a professional development consortium of 30 schools in northern Indiana committed to empowering student-centered learning. I write books, articles and other stuff because I’m sure stories + teachers make the world a better place. Most importantly, I’m completely charmed by my forever family. Welcome to my corner of the world.
Discover. Play. Build. is full of resources to make teaching writers manageable and enjoyable. You’ll find video minilessons, downloadable resources and even a preview copy of my new book!

You are the kind of mom who would've loved those kids and that trip just the same if there had been meltdowns and blow-ups–and that makes it even more special that you got the kind of trip you all deserved. Your effort to stay centered is makes an incredible impact on your family. Beautiful.
