reflection
My biggest reflection from Slice of Life is that I have a new routine while I feed E at night. I had spent so much time mindlessly scrolling Facebook, which gave me a mental break from the day that was very needed. However, I began to enjoy the time of reflection on my day. What […]

not a storytelling day
Some days, I feel as though I have lots of stories to tell. Other days, I feel like I’ve got nothing. It makes me think of all my kiddos and how they feel when I say, “Write a small moment. You have two days to finish.” I hate those days because I can just see […]

Cast free
Well we did it. We made it through one year old E being in a cast for a broken leg. Three weeks of sponge baths, walking only with a walker, and nerve wracking diaper changes. I feel like I should earn an award for not getting poop on her cast. This morning we were called […]

Due to physical distance requirements, students are eating lunch in the classroom. As they sat down yesterday, a student bit into his mozzarella sticks and tried stretching it as far as he could. It […]

Today was tough. As in, I walk into the office and our secretaries hand me a cup of Reese’s Pieces and peanut butter pretzels tough. They knew it’d get me through my meeting after school (they really are the best people). I don’t want to blog about the tough though. Instead, I want to focus […]

Lullabies
Every night, before S goes to bed, she requests that I sing her a lullaby. This has been part of her bedtime routine for almost two years now, so my repertoire of songs has greatly increased. However, over the years, I have always fallen back on a few, to the point that now, they remind […]

phone distractions
I wanted to write. I planned on writing. I swear. Then, my birthday present came. A new iPhone. Immediately the screen protector needed to go on. Then, I ignored all the set up directions and did my own thing. Then, I needed to put the girls to bed. As I was feeding E, I noticed […]
