The purpose is to share a trinket, piece of jewelry or a treasured collection from around your home. Today, I am sharing my wooden coin. It is the size of a half-dollar and on the other side reads TUIT (you know getting "a round to it"). This was given to me by the principal of South Pines Elementary in Spokane, Washington. I did my student teaching there in a 4-6 grade Resource Room. I've been packing this coin around for the last 18 years. My time with the wonderful teachers at South Pine is something I will never forget. Now and again, I get a small twinge of regret that I didn't accept the teaching position I was offered years ago. Shoot, I'd almost be to retirement! Then one of my five children does something to make me laugh and I realize that motherhood was a far more important job to have all these years. So for 16 years I've gotten "a round to it"....a round to mothering that is!

What a nice memory of a time you will never forget.
What a nice keepsake and memory!
I like that. Simple but with great memories and you are right....mom is the best and most important job around.
I remember hearing this in a children's talk in church.
My heart is right with you here! I have had a few twinges through the years about not following through with my art education or career, but motherhood and homemaking was right where I needed to be! Blessings to you!
I remember this type coins!!! You brought back some memories for me. It was a good reminder.

Thanks for sharing the story of your wooden coin. A lovely keepsake!
ahhh, I see you are a Show & Teller too:)
I once had a wooden round'to'it coin, wonder where it is? Maybe THATS why I have such a hard time getting around to it. That mothering stuff is so important, and worth it-trust me-my last is 18 and a SR in high school (3 more months 3 more months 3 more months) so worth it:)
