If you ever getthe chance to go to a conference in Orlando – GO!!! It’s the best place for a conference in the world. I just returned from the NAEYCConference and it was awesome. Attendance was down, which is not surprising, but the enthusiasm of theteachers was up. Loved, loved,loved meeting all the teachers from across the United States and othercountries. That’s why I do what Ido! And I would do anything tohelp you enjoy your job and help give children a smile and a happychildhood!!! And that’s the truthfrom the bottom of my heart!
We were blessedwith great weather, and I was blessed to get to present with my daughterHolly. Of course, Kalina and K.J.came along and got a taste of “Disney Magic.” My husband had a special day at Universal Studios with K.J.and now my husband can’t stop talking about the Harry Potter ride. It must be out of this world!

We stayed at the HiltonConvention Center and it was incredible! The facilities, pools, views, and food were outstanding. But, it was the friendly staff thatmade our trip so wonderful. Fromthe parking attendant to the housekeeper to the front desk…everybody had a smileand acted like they were happy to be working there and making our visit amemorable one. Those peopleprobably all have problems like the rest of us, but they put a smile on theirfaces and did their jobs. Everyday when you go in the classroom you have to be part actor or actress. Leave your worries outside, put a smileon your face, and act like you are luckiest teacher in the world! Pretend like it’s going to be the bestday ever and your feelings will follow!!!
