This week has been difficult. I’m not going to sugar coat it – it has been a tough one. Every school shooting affects me a little bit more than the last. As a public school teacher, someone married to a public school teacher, and the mother of a school-aged child, it terrifies me that school … More TGIF- fun finds
It is the LAST FRIDAY OF MARCH!!! The longest month of the school year is over… and it actually ended up flying by! Guys… April, May, and then June…. we are almost there! One of my very sweet little students brought me a gift last week, a box of homemade macaroons! I was floored by … More TGIF – fun finds
I love teaching the children of educators. They tend to be involved, willing to participate, and their parents give the best gifts… because they know what educators need (ALCOHOL!!!)

Happy Friday!!! After a day off yesterday (thank you to all the veterans!) today was lovely in so many ways.

Now that we are back to teaching in person, I have ramped up my baking of sweet-treats in order to boost morale within my department. Yep, I’m using sugar to make everyone happy! We have department meetings once a month and I have made it my mission this year to (once again!) supply my colleagues … More Coconut Cream Cheese Brownies
Smile…it’s Friday! Although summer vacation is wonderful and magical, there is something about being back at work that makes Friday’s seem like the best thing to happen all week!

It’s Friday…it’s Friday! It was a full and busy week and I am beginning to realize that Zoom fatigue is a very real thing! I am so excited to spend the weekend away from the computer!!!

It’s that time of the year- the kiddos are coming!! In honor of the first day back with students, I wanted to share a little bit about the classroom updates I’ve done this summer.
