I apologize for not writing the past couple of weeks. It has been an incredibly stressful time for me lately. I have a new work schedule, and my life feels like it's in chaos right now. However, I'm not going to run from it. While I may not say everything on this blog, I do … Continue reading What’s On Your Stove?

Conscious Effort
I had a bit of a realization this week. Every goal you want to accomplish requires conscious effort. Now I know that sounds like an obvious statement, but I want to take today's post to explain more about this in the hopes that maybe you can have that realization too. I am a very goal-oriented … Continue reading Conscious Effort
My Summer Plans
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. I am doing a number of professional developments this year, including one this first week. … Continue reading My Summer Plans
Mindful Decisions
I feel this year has been off to a different start in a good way. I feel more motivated to complete goals and try to make improvements in my life. Even though we are only three months into the year, I feel I can already see the changes that are occurring. Because I am so … Continue reading Mindful Decisions
Soft Days
This is a term I've come up with for myself, and it's something I'm starting to really love. As I was researching in making sure this wasn't anything else to avoid confusion, I came across the 75 Hard and the 75 Soft. Those refer to following certain health plans for 75 days to help your … Continue reading Soft Days

It's what keeps us going and makes sure we have … Continue reading Eating Healthy

However, I am changing my approach this year as opposed to in years past. Normally, I set myself up for failure … Continue reading Small Steps, Big Changes
How to Create a Complete Bullet Journal
I started this year with a fully made bullet journal. If you've been following my blog for a number of years now, you know that I created one to use in 2019. It was a good start, and I really enjoyed it. However, around May or June, I fell off of using it. A big … Continue reading How to Create a Complete Bullet Journal
New Year, New Clean
You've probably heard the phrase, "New Year, New Me." I want to take that phrase and change it up a bit (hence the title of this post). 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
Goals for 2024
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
