Naming a blog

Victoria Amelia at 9 weeks

There are so many great blogs out there with very wonderful names. Some are catchy, some meaningful, and some playful. I thought long and hard about what to name a blog that you think will stand the test of time. I'm not sure I'll always be teaching in the third grade, so I wanted to keep that out of the name. Then, I was sitting in my two daughters' room, rocking the new baby to sleep when I looked up at the wall and saw Amelia Earhart staring at me. My oldest daughter's middle name is Amelia as an ode to her 11th cousin, Amelia Earhart. She has always fascinated me and I want all three of my children to always follow their dreams, aim high, and live each day to its fullest potential. Ohio makes a claim of being the birthplace of aviation, so there you go, we are flying high in Ohio, as teachers we are aiming for the sky and trying to teach our students to do the same.
