Well, not exactly. I’ve got a meet the teacher Wednesday and the first day of kindergarten is officially Friday. I have spent the last two months at the snowball stand, zoo, swimming pool, beach, theme park, often lamenting my freedom. […]

Specifically, to blog every Monday whether I liked it or not. It only took me until June to stop missing Mondays, and since then I feel like all my posts could be […]

Her post then explained: I love keeping up with my students on social media because […]

There’s this place I don’t particularly care for, and judging by many of your social media posts, a lot of you apparently do. Can we agree to just disagree? I’m not a fan of Disney. Which is why it’s […]

Even though both garage doors were fully open, a hummingbird had gotten trapped and was banging its head against […]
I recently had the pleasure of attending a classical guitar concert after which a few musicians chatted about their art: did playing guitar ever feel like work? The consensus was a resounding yes. One guitarists suggested that he is happiest on a beach somewhere, miles and miles away from his instrument. I get that. We […]

It’s one of those days. The art just isn’t quite happening, I got a disappointing work e-mail, and my child is, um, boldly spouting some “alternative facts” about a chocolate bunny I found under the sheets in the top bunk bed. Gross. So […]

You’d think frantic breakfasts and repeated “please-put-your-shoes-on” would phase out a bit as summer settles in. When you work from home, summer inevitably brings it’s own hustle. A much needed break arrived last week– I had the joy of […]

There was nothing particularly different about it in theory except this time my four year old had the language skills to repeatedly ask me when it would be […]
