Welcome to my new blog!

I used to keep a blog in college, but my posts became more and more infrequent as life became busier and busier.  This account will be my second attempt at blogging, mostly because it is a weekly requirement for my EAD 269 class.

A little bit about me...
I am a Curriculum Support Provider at Reagan Elementary School in Sanger Unified.  As a "Vice Principal" figure, I am the "go to" person when the principal is busy or unavailable.  As my formal title suggests, my job is to provide support to all teachers, staff members, and students.  Curriculum is my focus, but the range of activities and tasks that I tackle day-to-day can vary greatly.  I love my job and am excited to continue my second year as a CSP.  I am also currently pursuing my masters and credential in Educational Leadership and Administration.

On a personal note, I am happily married to my amazing husband, Nick.  We met in college and share the same birthday.  He is my best friend and biggest fan.  I wouldn't be able to accomplish or juggle as much as I do if it weren't for him supporting and encouraging me every step of the way.  We are happy to report that we will be welcoming a new Blanchard to the family around Jan. 31, 2012.  I am about 17 weeks pregnant and the anticipation & excitement is growing as rapidly as my belly.  Although I will need to seek balance and learn to re-adjust my priorities before the baby arrives, I am REALLY looking forward to being a new mom.

Of course, the title of my blog "CarteBlanchard" can be defined as the complete freedom to discuss and document the reflections of my life.  For all those who choose to follow, may you have the courage to freely share your opinions and comments as well.
