Jody Hoffman
Boston, South Dakota
In the course of one year, I went from single mother of 3 to married mother/stepmother of 6 (plus two dogs!), from second grade teacher to sixth grade teacher, and from Boston City Girl to South Dakota Country Girl. Blogging about our crazy life while drowning in children and frantically clicking my red-sequined heels. There's no place like home...
Interests: Chasing children, Figuring out how to spend 5 minutes alone with my husband, Vacations, Rum drinks, Board games, Scrapbooking, Reading, Finding a balance between eating cookies and working out, baking and decorating cakes and cupcakes, trying not to get knocked down by Brady (80 pound Golden Retriever "Puppy" or peed on by Alice (5 pound Shitzu-Poodle mix)

I’m Sorry
Actual Definition: I feel badly about what I have done and promise not to do it again.
Bunch Definition: I know you won’t get mad at me when I give you these puppy dog eyes, but I don’t have any intention of stopping this behavior. I will probably apologize for the same thing tomorrow. And the next day. Continue reading

Messages from a 12-Year-Old
