A year ago I got sick of wishing I could paint. Now I’ve filled one book and used almost that whole kindergarten watercolor paint set. Am I good? Not even mediocre. That’s not the point. What are you sick of WISHING… that you could instead just START? 🎨 ⏰ #IsThisArt #MentalHealthMatters #JustDoIt

I’m not the mom who hosts football parties. I don’t bake cookies for the team or organize fundraisers. I barely understand the game. But at the bare minimum, I’m the mom who shows up. Even when it’s 38 degrees and raining. #football #MomLife #AutumnVibes

It’s now a slightly less terrifying day to be a wooly bear caterpillar. I relocated all these little buddies from the school recess patio to the woods. #KindnessMatters #Bugs #AutumnVibes

Can you wave your magic wand 🪄 and make my #teaching stuff fit and look inviting in a small new room without any storage provided? Or maybe just hold my hand and tell me everything is going to be ok? 🥺 #BackToSchool #ClassroomOrganization
