I am a stress eater and dealing with COVID-19 and my mother’s death has meant chips, chocolate, and all the other yummies. I call it the QUARANTINE 15. I haven’t gained 15 pounds, but it sure feels like it. My jeans are tight around the waist and ass because I have been living in sweatpants

Now that schools are closed, there are so many negatives and positives to being at home all day, every day. Negatives: It is hard to be a teacher and a work-from-home mom I want to wear PJs every day I have no routine Positives: I have more time with my son I get to wear

My mother was buried this past weekend. The ceremony felt odd due to it just being immediate family, staying socially distant from each other, not having a gathering afterwards, etc. I brought three roses for her (three for her three daughters) and my son brought this rose for her. It was his first funeral so for

To be honest, it isn’t so much of a fad versus a jewelry need. Enso rings are my newest love. If you don’t know what I am talking about then click above and check them out. No, they are not paying me to write a review…plus they don’t even know I exist. haha! The truth

It is a new year and a new decade. It is hard to believe. Today, I woke up early as every day. I wish I could say it was because I am too excited to start the day. In truth, I would love to sleep in; however, my hound dog has other ideas. He just

My summer goals on writing each week have not been successful. My mother’s husband had surgery and he is my mother’s caretaker. She is in the last and final stage of Alzheimer’s.

Summer is my time to destress from a school year. As a special education teacher, my patience is tested throughout the year as I help students deal with their emotions, academic struggles, and just getting through the day. I love my job, but I do need the summer to be myself again. This time of

I recently went on a field trip with my son to Monticello as a parent and as a special education teacher. My focus was staying cool in the heat, keeping the kids on my caseload on track, and spending time with my son. However, it didn’t take long for that focus to change. Soon, it

It is now December 29th and no I didn’t finish NaNoWriMo. I also didn’t write a novel. I also totally failed on my exercise schedule. Work meetings and holiday activities got in the way. Excuses I know. The good news is that I did come up with a new children’s book and have started writing

In just a few days, November will be here. To be that means NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)!! It is the one month of the year where I, and many many others, try to write 50,000 words in just one month. Some of us are successful; some of us are not and that is ok.

In a previous post, I mentioned how I was going to start posting more and writing more and blah blah blah. Well, that was MONTHS ago. Apparently, life got in the way yet AGAIN! School started up and my schedule is insane. My son has been sick more than usual for the first two
