I'm back! My last post was over a month ago, and I'm honestly surprised that I was even able to make that one. It has been an absolute whirlwind of a summer! I think I spent more time out of my home than in it. I'll run through a quick recap because I don't post … Continue reading Do What you Love
We live in a world that is getting more expensive by the day. It can feel like everyone wants a piece of money, and that there is not enough to go around. I know I can definitely understand that, so today I want to provide a list of ideas of free and/or cheap activities that … Continue reading Free and Cheap Activities
My school year is officially done! My students are off to enjoy their summer, and I plan to do the same. However, like always, even though I'm not in the classroom every day, I'm still pretty busy all summer long.

See while I hope to improve myself this year, I'm not looking to become entirely "new". I mostly like who I am, and I have goals to help … Continue reading New Year, New Clean
Happy New Year! 2023 is officially done and we are starting 2024! This is the time for new ideas, goals, and resolutions. I've mentioned on here a number of times how I feel resolutions aren't things you plan to keep. You make them only to break them or ignore them when times get hard. For … Continue reading Goals for 2024
This will be my last post of 2023 because I will not post in between Christmas and New Year's. But it is the end of another year! Time is such a funny thing in that it keeps moving whether or not you want it to. I want to take today and maybe slow down time … Continue reading A Wrap-up of 2023
