Mariah,
You have hit a deep and beautiful chord with this work. I’m a grandmother (NewNew) of a little girl. Her brother is on his way in a week or so. This is a wonderful resource for grandparents too. Since the moment I met you I know you were inspired and would rock the world with your sensitivity and clarity.
I’m happy to be part of your educational community.

An AMAZiNG POST!!!
I have been keeping my eye out for a “new web site” announcement, as I could tell you were a fellow iweb-er! (Oh the joys of transferring to, and creating an entirely new site! But oh so worth the time, energy and effort; yes?)
I absolutely LOVE your new site!!! CONGRATULATIONS!
(That is really what I wanted to say!)
Cheers,

Hi Tya – It is nice to find a fellow iWebber who can empathize with me! Thank you for your kind words…
I tell all my friends with young children and my students in the Online Masters in Art Education program at the University of Florida about your book and website. You make authentic learning visible, providing beautifully rendered ideas and inspirations. Thank you and PLEASE keep up the good work.
Thank you Jodi! That is so kind of you…
