Today is my blog's anniversary! 🎉 Ten years ago, I started this blogging experiment/journey with my first post, simply and boringly titled Introduction. Not my best writing, to be honest, but we all have to start somewhere. Some of you dear readers have been with me since the beginning, while some of you have only … Continue reading 10 Years!

Midsummer Check-In
Being a teacher, I try to spend my summer days relaxing (especially after this particularly stressful and exhausting school year). My summer to-do list starts off with a number of things on it, and although I cross off some of them as the weeks go by, I find myself adding to it and so it … Continue reading Midsummer Check-In

Reopening the Library
When non-essential businesses had to close up at the beginning of the shelter-in-place orders, I really wasn't too bothered by it.

Nothing to Write
Being an introspective person, my mind and my heart are constantly going. Being a mom, so is my life. However, sometimes I just feel like I have nothing to write.

A Reverence for Words
rev·er·ence [rev-er-uhns, rev-ruhns] noun a feeling or attitude of deep respect tinged with awe; veneration The idea of a reverence for words came from one of the books I just finished reading. The book's story takes place in a society where written words are symbols of the past, of an era of decadence that is no longer tolerated.
