About Me

My photo
I've been married to my husband, Michael, for almost 25 years. I'm a mom to a biological son and an adopted son from Colombia, and I'm also a spiritual mom to my adopted son's older brother, who I claim as a son in my heart. I'm bilingual and love to work with and relate to Spanish-speaking children and families. I've been a teacher to students from all sorts of backgrounds and cultures for the last 20+ years. I'm also an author and a certified Biblical counselor. I'm in a new empty nest season in a new location far from where I raised my boys, so I'm definitely in a stage of rediscovering myself, my interests, and my purpose.

Monopoly COLOMBIA

So cool to have already been to a lot of the places on the board.  I told David our goal every summer should be to visit at least one more place on our Monopoly board. :)

In this game, the railroads are all the major airports in Colombia.  Electric Company and Water Works are now an Internet Company and a Cell Phone Company.  The money is all in thousands and millions, just like the money here in Colombia, and it teaches kids to use decimals pretty quickly.  The best part is when David or Mike land on the Chance or Community Chest because they have to read it in Spanish.  David does a pretty good job of it--I knew that boy still had it in him. :)  That Spanish immersion preschool is still paying off. :)
