Instead, we must cultivate positive tension to hold us up when things get tough. Boy, has my theory been tested since that post! Complete honesty: the start of this … Continue reading On Positive Tension
We're just a few weeks into the new school year and my summer tan is already fading. I catch sight of my bare wrist in the shower and realize that the running watch tan lines are less dramatic, less pronounced.

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.

Happy #menumonday, friends! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I think I’m still full from our turkey dinner. We had a lovely meal with way too much food for just 6 of us, but it was a fun day, and we thoroughly enjoyed it.

It’s #menumonday, friends! Fall is in full swing around here. We’ve been having soup, cozying up with warm socks and good books and I’m not sad about it. The weather is looking to warm up a bit this week, so I’m hoping for one more last hurrah of summer, maybe we’ll get a chance to … Continue reading {Menu Monday: 9.28.20}
Happy #menumonday, friends! Last week, I spent most of the week in front of my computer screen, listening to and participating in multiple professional development sessions around remote learning, Covid safety, and social emotional learning. When the week was over, all I wanted to do was eat comfort food and relax, as my brain was … Continue reading {Menu Monday 9.7.20}
