Three Letters Make All the Difference

Thank you for all your encouraging comments and support on yesterday’s blog post. I just adore the blogging community and how we can all rally together when one of us is struggling. Stephanie’s latest post is extremely fitting to my week. To all of you,...

Sunday Stress

Do you ever have so much to do that you don’t know where to start? That is the way I have been feeling all day today. My to do list is quite long in addition to classroom observations coming up at work the next few weeks. It’s a bit of a stressful time if...

A Bit of Saturday Randomness

Last week’s random thoughts post was a lot of fun to write, so I thought I would give it another go. Without further ado, here is a few random things from the past week: We did Rachel’s Challenge at school on Wednesday. Inspiring message, lots of tears...

All Search Terms Lead Here

Friday is here! Best part about today? Instead of having students, we have a teacher inservice day. Though they can sometimes be rough, I appreciate the break from the kiddos. A few days ago I was exploring my WordPress stats page and found myself scrolling through...

Squats for Subway Tickets

Just a quick post to say happy Hump Day! My today felt extremely long for some reason. After last week going by so quickly, it’s always jarring to me when days drag out like today did. I wanted to share a video I saw on Facebook that I thought was ingenius....

The Great Floss Debate

There is a debate happening in my household. About floss. You opened this post. Now you’re in it.  I brush my teeth first and then floss. My thought is the toothbrush can get my teeth mostly clean and the floss fine tunes it all. Rob flosses first and then...

30-Day Challenge Fail

Well the first ten days of the 30-Day Full Body Challenge are off to an epic fail. I did not complete the set reps of any of the moves except miles. Hopefully I can get my act together these next ten days and knock some of it out.The good news is I have gotten my...

Girls on the Run End of Season 5K

I was up bright and early this morning for a very exciting 5k: the Girls on the Run end of season race! Girls on the Run has been on my radar for a few years now, but I haven’t had a change to join in. I love their mission of teaching girls inner strength while...

A Busy Saturday

Today started with a hike. Rob and I had originally planned to walk about 3 miles in a new-to-us park, Green Mountain, but we ended up lost and stuck on a trail that had no turn offs. We ended up semi-bush whacking to cut down our distance. 7.33 miles and 3 hours...

When Students Lose Their Cool

TGIF! I have to tell you, this week just flew and I am quite thankful for that. One of the best parts about Friday? Getting a weekly “Happy Friday” text from Marie, my mother-in-law. I always look forward to its universal, “Everyone loves...

Chocolate and Wine Night

Happy Hump Day! Between being crazy busy at work and coming home to study NASM until bedtime every night, I feel like this week is flying! I wanted to share with you all another date that Rob and I went on during our two week mini-moon. Wine tasting with a twist: it...
