I've posted about self-care before, you can read that post here. And I'm happy to report that the foot surgery referenced in that post … Continue reading From Goal to Action: Self-Care

I'm an elementary music teacher, which brings its own set of challenges and rewards, but I'm also a teacher outside of the classroom.

Housekeeping. Besides ironing and grocery shopping, it's probably my least favorite chore. And for years, I've had loads of help with this area of my life: assigned weekly chores for my children to help complete.

It's a little weird having a child who is married now, and I'll be posting all about that … Continue reading {Menu Monday 8.10.20}
Trying to get brave over here. Last summer I finished writing my first book, a cute little story about a boy named Hank and his summer adventures with his friend, Jake, all while visiting his Great-Aunt Leova and Great-Uncle Henry. Since finishing, I’ve let a couple of people read it, and have spent a good … Continue reading {Bravery and beta readers}
Living With Intention 2018. It's going to be an intentional year for goals. Last year, I had a few goals, and I accomplished some of them, and others I failed at miserably. This year, I have more tools to help me be intentional, but more than that, I feel like I can really do this … Continue reading {Word of the year: TRUST}
