Tell me you worked in retail without telling me you worked in retail. This is my cabochon cut garnet and marquisite sterling silver ring from my college days at The Museum Company- excavated from my jewelry box. Holy 90s, Batman.

Once my teaching career gained traction I stopped taking work home. How can we encourage teachers to leave the planning at school and set the expectation that their time is their own?

Prioritized goal setting with my students today. I realized that I have used vision boards for the last 12 years. They have been a recursive process. I'm still learning about patience, baby steps, and side quests, always moving forward.

Not resolutions but priorities for the new year. I do better with priorities. No specific order
1. Honor what I enjoy and who I love. Share for accountability ❤️
2. Health and movement - I'm a surgical menopause lady...so this is important.
3. Level up home and job. Some way. IDK yet. Baby steps.

It’s Time For A Vision Board!
I make a vision board every year. I usually create it on Canva or Pinterest. Next, I take a screen shot of it and make it the wallpaper on my phone for at least a month. I keep short goals and long term goals in mind. I give myself permission to really dream. After…

I always forget to shout-out our favorite Christmas tradition. We go multiple times a year but Christmas Day at Beyond Sushi NYC never disappoints.

After 15 years of weaving the joy of the Muppets into her childhood, I finally took my daughter to the Museum of Moving Images. Specifically, the Jim Henson Exhibit. Statler and Waldorf are the voices in my head.
Thank you Jim Henson.

Last night we lost Boots, the sweetest kitty the cat distribution system has ever gifted. We moved into our home 11 years ago to learn she was left behind by previous residents. She never left and we were so lucky to love her and be her family. She passed peacefully, surrounded by her humans.

ICYMI Today was not the day to email teachers because they were late arriving at work. Today WAS the day to be grateful your staff made it to work safely.
When I become an administrator I'll choose gratitude.

Anything can be veganized. Boxed pumpkin cake turned into pumpkin and candied cranberry muffins. Egg replacer and a little flax for added protein and fiber. Apple sauce replaces oil and here's the finished product.

Today kicks off one of the toughest parts of the year for a teacher -- the 3 weeks before winter break. Wear the jeans. Let them color - even the big kids. A word search can be your best friend. Edpuzzles are movies in disguise.

I took no pictures on Thanksgiving except for this Vegan Banana Pudding from Willow NYC. Shout-out to my daughter for picking a dessert we are still raving about.

A mouse walks into a class discussion on Dracula. We named him Renfield and put him in an old fishtank/Dracula project. After rest and food every kind student found a safe place to set him free. The lessons here? Kids need a chance to be kids. And there is always an opportunity to choose kindness.

The Lion's Gate Portal opening 7/28 but is at its peak today. 8/8 is too auspicious to ignore. Manifest those dreams, folks. Picture it, journal it. Set those intentions.
