MckLinky Blog Hop

The theme of this week's MckLinky Blog Hop is

"Why Read My Blog?"

For those of you who are regular readers, thanks for taking time out of your day to read what I have to say. I feel like I have made some friends in the blogging world and have discovered some great blogs that I always look forward to reading. I **LOVE** to read your comments and really appreciate hearing what you have to say both on your own blogs and in response to my posts. Keep visiting and leaving me "love notes."

For those of you stopping by on the blog hop, I'd like to introduce you to Sneaker Teacher! I came up with the name for this blog because I am a teacher and my husband works for adidas, so I am always wearing crazy colored, stylin' footwear to school. I also really enjoy fitness, so Sneaker Teacher embodies my love for teaching and fitness. I am 27 years old and just moved with my husband to Germany. We have been married for just over two years and have been together since our junior year at Villanova University. We do not have any kids yet, but I do have lots of kids in my life, my favorite one being my beautiful niece who makes some photo appearances every once in awhile. I grew up in CT, then moved to PA for college, OR after that and now here we are in Europe doing the ex-pat thing.

Posts on my blog are typically about:

• Teaching- I am currently teaching at an international school in Germany. I like to share about the kids that I work with, funny stories, special moments, and creative ideas
• Our new life in Germany which has been pretty interesting so far!
• The road to getting my doctorate (I am continuing a program I started in Portland from Germany, which makes all aspects of taking classes a bit more interesting)
• Books! Whether it is texts for my courses, novels, or professional development books, I like to share what I am reading especially if I think it would be helpful to other teachers
• Fitness is a smaller part of my blog, but I like to share workout ideas and some tidbits about eating
• Craftiness-occasionally I will showcase a baking experiment or some other creation
• Whatever else is on my mind!

I find that I enjoy reading blogs written by fellow teachers because I can relate to what they write about and I love to know what teaching is like in different schools and states. If you are a teacher, or a home schooling mom, or a fellow blogger I hope you will give my blog a try and become a regular follower! I love to hear comments and I feel like I blogging is a great way to meet people from all over.

Leave me a comment to let me know that you stopped by and I will check out your blog as well!

Thanks for hopping by!!
