I didn’t keep much of my “teacher” stuff after I headed back to graduate school, because I knew that it wouldn’t be appearing again. I gave it away to as many classroom friends as I could… spreading the love of manipulatives and homemade handouts and lesson plans. But I did keep some mementos… like this [...]
I started up my C25K plan again yesterday morning. I’d done it before, but on a treadmill, so I really don’t count that as actual race training/planning/prep.
And I travelled 2.2 miles around our neighborhood from 6:00 – 6:30am. And I took a shower, took Miss L to daycare, and went to work. [...]
Mr. M was baffled as to why I wanted to sleep on the couch and wake up at 2am to watch this morning’s wedding festivities. I told him my British blood wouldn’t let me sleep through it.
My Grandma L was British to the core. She may have found [...]
Here are your favorite things about Spring:
Jade’s favorite thing about spring: The best thing about spring is definitely being able to enjoy the sun being out longer!
Josie’s favorite thing about spring: I love the first hints of green on trees as they wake up from winter.
Thank you [...]
In the meme I posted, a few people commented that they thought I was an only child and I hadn’t mentioned my brothers before. Well, I know I’ve mentioned them quite a few times, but probably not in the spotlight they deserve! So… I’d like to take this post to tell you who [...]
A. Age: 30
B. Bed size: California King
C. Chore you hate: what chore do I enjoy? Um… I’m pretty bad at all of them and don’t like any of them?
D. Dogs: Boston Terrier (Memphis)
E. Essential start to your day: stretching my [...]
I have no legitimate excuse for what happened on Wednesday night, only silly ones. It had been a long week at work, despite the fact that it was Spring Break for the students. I was on super-mommy duty as Mr. M was holed up in San Francisco for the week for work. And I went [...]
When I finished flipping through my latest Athleta and Title Nine catalogs the other night, I showed them to Mr. M with the caveat, “I bet you’d like me to have all the clothes in these stores!” And as he flipped through, he complimented many of the items and agreed they [...]
This is me 2 minutes after a shower, including a 30-second date with my hair dryer. It’s 1 minute after I rescued a screaming baby from the throws of a bad naptime dream. And it’s midday on a lazy Sunday.
I’m a daily makeup wearer just to even my skin tone and brush [...]
For our last vacation recap post, I’ll share a couple of fun baby videos with you! The first is the start of Baby M’s fun at the Playhouse Disney LIVE! show. (It also shows her mom, aka. me, being very silly. If you didn’t believe that I know what the backside of Goofy’s eyes [...]
Ah yes… so what else did we do at the grand ‘ol world they call Disney?
Well, we went to EPCOT – which, if you didn’t know, is also the land of epic baby naps! It started with a baby nap in the car… then on the boat to EPCOT… and then a couple [...]
When Baby M and I arrived in Orlando, we were quickly whisked away to the off-property condo that we were staying at by Mr. M, and shortly embarked on a venture to the Magic Kingdom. After a quick lunch (with what seemed like millions of people – seriously, the charm of small eateries in Disneyland [...]
