I had grand plans of writing at least once a week once quarantine began, but I haven't. I think it would be good for my soul and all that if I did but for some reason, it's easier to just not. Today is day 41. Since then, I've left my house for some walks (which … Continue reading I Haven’t Written in a While (word vomit)
I am extremely grateful that I live in a state that recognized that schools are a breeding ground for germs and closed us down for the next two weeks. In the meantime, I'll be staying at home, except for walks outside (don't worry - I live in an area where no one takes walks outside … Continue reading Quarantine Day 1 Minute by Minute Updates of an Extraordinarily Busy Lady
2019 - damn were you a year. Like everyone else on the planet, there were highs and lows and days that just felt fine. 2019 brought me lessons, laughter and my fair share of tears. 2019 brought me travel and adventure with the people I care about. So before 2019 melts into the other years, … Continue reading 2019: A Year in Review
One of my goals for 2020 is to write more. I think I hesitate to write because I want it to be "pretty" - if I don't have a cute photo to use as the headline, whats the point?! I want to get away from that. I feel better when I write (and ramble). Right … Continue reading Life, Lately – Winter Break Edition
We have a scratch off map at home with all the countries we've been to, and I'm having a serious moral dilemma. Can I scratch off North Korea now that we've been to the DMZ?! When we were in Korea a few weeks ago, we booked a tour to go to the DMZ - the … Continue reading A Casual Day at the DMZ
I have been neglectful AF towards this blog - which is audacious considering I pay to have it! I don't even have a good excuse - I've been on summer break for the last two weeks doing nothing but going to yoga and annoying my husband. I thought it'd be fun to do a quick … Continue reading Life Lately
It's bizarre how much of our identity is tied to our profession. Maybe it isn't so strange - we spend so much of our time at work, getting ready for work and unwinding from work. Work is where people tend to spend most of their days. It makes sense that our self worth is so … Continue reading I’m Not “Just” a Teacher
Anyone else exhausted? I can taste spring break on my tongue, but it's not quite here yet. My patience is running slim, and my student's are antsy to be out for the summer. It's been a rough week in my classroom. On the bright side - three more Fridays until break! Lets get on with … Continue reading Five Thangs Friday #7
Is your cup half full? Half empty? I want neither. I want a cup that is so full, that it overflows onto the saucer beneath it. With the self-love, respect and energy that overflows, I want to give to others. I recently heard this quote on a podcast. People always say you can't give unless … Continue reading Don’t Give From Your Cup, Give From Your Saucer
I've begun to really look forward to Five Thangs Friday. It makes me really take a step back and think about five things that truly made my week better - which can help me when I'm stuck in a rut, as I have been. I haven't posted much lately. I've lacked thoughts, which is a … Continue reading Five Thangs Friday #6
