Welcome!

We are two public school teachers who work and play together at a charter school in Boulder County, Colorado. In addition to teaching high school English, we are also mothers and writers (not to mention newly married and newly divorced), and we are forever trying to carve time to write from the complexity of our rich daily lives.

In the past, we've been lucky enough to receive summer fellowships from the Colorado State University Writing Project and the English Speaking Union of the United States. This year, thanks to sabbatical grants from the Fund for Teachers, we are getting ready to begin a two-week residency at a writer's retreat in southern Colorado. During our stay, we will update this blog regularly so that students, colleagues, friends and family can check in with our progress and our adventures.

School ends next week and we hit the road in exactly seven days...
