Schools Out For Summer
School was dismissed for the summer today at 1:00 PM! I am usually not quite so excited about it, except this year I have been doing a long-term substitute teaching position for the last 6 weeks, so I was ready to be done! Starting tomorrow we will have 82 days of summer until school starts…
Read More The Frogs
For the past several nights, we have been able to sleep with our bedroom window open, which I love. I love sleeping and feeling that gentle, cool breeze coming in.

Read More Walking It Out!
From March to November, I regularly walked with a friend around town. We had our usual loop through town that was about 2 miles. Every day I looked forward to those walks where we could catch up on eachother’s day and “solve all the world’s problems”. Now that it’s winter we haven’t been able to…
Read More Rejuvenation Day!
After a No School day yesterday (our 7th) due to an ice storm and a 2-hour late start today, I dropped our daughter off at daycare before preschool and declared the next 5 hours all to myself! I went to Starbucks with my new book, Not My Daughter by Barbara Delinsky (which I can’t put…
