I reminded my students of the quote above today and they seemed to enjoy it so I decided to share it with you. There is such truth in these words. Related side-note: Also, how funny are teenagers? Just in general, they are ridiculously awesome and equally ridiculous. Today a kid said to me in class, [...]
This week has been my first at a new teaching job. It’s been a true breath of fresh air and an inspiration in every sense of the word. Side note: need some inspiration? Check out children inspire design and the shine project. Ok, back to my story… I had been VERY nervous about basically “jumping [...]
It’s that time of year again! The final countdown! Pardon my overuse of the exclamation mark! REM’s song frantically plays in my head as I frenetically run around in circles… Really though, this full-time teacher-mama can hardly stand herself. Why, you may ask, am I so excited!?

Take, for example, my little brother. He came home from his first day [...]
This may go down in the charts as the best spring break ever! A whole day of relaxation has been quite successful and a trip to the park (x2) doesn’t hurt. Plans for our break include massive amounts of stroller-ing and swinging, trips to Starbucks, a picnic to feed some ducks, lunch out on the [...]
Over coffee this morning, my friend (Mamicomio’s writer) and I discussed how our kids will probably turn out ok as long as we love them and give them the basics (structure, decent role models, etc.). Too often, parents are anxious and paranoid about how their children will turn out, worrying that they are not providing [...]
