Not sure about you, but I feel like this rainy weather calls for a cozy candle, a soft blanket, and a good book. 🫶🏻

⚠️ Long, Vulnerable Post ⚠️

Yesterday was my last day of my first round of Whole30 (because I know I'll be doing it again at some point 🙌🏻), and I'm here to celebrate! 🎉

That girl on the left didn't want that picture taken. She knew she didn't like the skin she was in, and it was crushing her soul. She hid behind over-sized clothes and was closet-eating all the junk like crazy. I call her "that girl," because I don't know her any more.

In April of this year, I was diagnosed with depression. I went on a low dose of an antidepressant (after a ton of research and deciding it was the best option for me), and for the first time in I don't know how long, it was like a cloud had been lifted off of me. I could see the sun again, and it was becoming brighter than ever. Slowly, I started to take care of myself again.

Fast forward to September, and I started experiencing some crazy symptoms. After a severe allergic reaction (we're still not sure to what), I went to my doctor. She determined that my gut was out of whack from several rounds of antibiotics and suggested Whole30. I wasn't the happiest about it, but I decided to give it a try, and goodness, I'm glad I did! All of the "mystery" symptoms I had been experiencing are gone, I feel better than I have in a long time, and I'm down another 10 pounds, for a total of 26.5 pounds since the spring.

AAAALLLL of that to say:

1) There is no shame in checking on your mental health, receiving a diagnosis, or even going on medication for it. You wouldn't neglect a physical illness. Don't neglect your mental health either.
2) If something feels off with your body, do something about it. Advocate for yourself, get answers, and take action. "That girl (or guy)" will thank you for it.

Finally, I only took action on my mental health because I had a friend share her experience with me and encourage me to do so. I only fully committed to Whole30 because I had a friend share her experience with me, show me the ins and outs, and cheer me on. If you need a friend, it's me. I'm your friend. Here's my experience, and I'm only a message away if you wanna talk or need encouragement. Take care of yourself 💜

We got to take the cutest "Unicorn Fairies" to Trunk or Treat tonight. 💜

Ginger Reitz Morgan passed this along to me, and I thought I would share. Praying it's never needed, but . . .

A good read about the "perfect storm" occurring in education right now. Still, I'm surrounded by incredible teachers, who choose to get up and do the hard things day in and day out, for our little learners. 💜

In a guest column, Fulton teacher Jordan Kohanim sounds the alarm on the well-being and future of her profession. On social media and personal blogs, teachers are saying the last 18 months have been the most challenging in their careers, and this year is far from “back to normal.” Many say they ...

May the odds be ever in your favor! 💜

I've been pretty absent from my "teacher gram" lately, but if there's something I can hop on to share, it's this. While many of us are "off for the holiday," let's reflect on what we're really "celebrating."

Surviving the first week back called for a little celebration! 🎉

I was so excited to use my new Dutch Oven to make this DELICIOUS 5 ingredient peach cobbler. It's seriously so simple:
-Mix 1/2 box of vanilla cake mix & 1 cup of lemon-lime soda
-Place 4 cups of peaches (or any fruit you love) in the bottom of the oven
-Top with the cake mixture, 2tbsp. of butter, & sugar to taste!
-Bake at 350° until golden brown

You, too, can get this precious Dutch Oven in your FabFitFun Box! Use my code, MK10 for $10 off your FIRST box!

My 7th Open House was my most special one yet! I'm excited to welcome my own precious babe to our school! 💙

03/08/2021

Thought I'd share, in case anyone wants to join me in this! This little reminder has been printed and sitting by my desk every year that I've been teaching. I love taking the first 26 days to specifically "Pray Through the Alphabet" for my students & use it to refer back to (or as a reminder to pray) throughout the year! 💜

03/08/2021

I'm pretty sure you could lock me in my classroom by myself for 100 hours, and I still wouldn't FeEl "ready" to receive children! There's always SOMETHING on the to-do list! Anyone else?!

Nonetheless, we have Open House tomorrow, and I am PUMPED to meet my new littles!! 🙌🏻🎉💜💙😎🌵

📣 Hmmm . . . Forgot to mention this earlier. Well, now ya know! 25% off EVERYTHING in the Pixie Primary store, August 3rd & 4th, using code BTS21. Yes, I know what this does to the cost of those cute decor bundles, and I kinda can't believe it either! 😳

My husband's reminder: "The Dyson doesn't live at school!" 😅 Do you sneak things from home to work?

31/07/2021

Our sweet principal hosted "Popsicles with the Principal" this morning! It was such a great way for this little Pre-K babe to work out some nerves before starting big girl school next week! Does your school do anything like this, before Meet the Teacher or Open House? 💜

Happy Friday, friends! Teachers, how do you plan to set those boundaries this year?

Little Traysures Everywhere! Now, do I leave them up or take them down before students return? 🤔

Our first official day is tomorrow . . . When is yours?

Shared this to Stories yesterday, but I felt like it deserved a more permanent spot.

📣 PSA for Parents: Okay, maybe "We don't care" isn't the right thing to say here. We do care. We care a lot. It's kind of our thing.
•
What I mean is, PLEASE don't feel the need to apologize to your child's new teacher if you "didn't do a lot of school work this summer." If this teacher needed a break, I bet your kiddo did, too!
•
Guess what? Our job as teachers is to meet your scholar where he or she is, and help make that growth! 📈
•
If your kid played all summer, great! That little learner will be refreshed for the summer (plus, many kids LeArN through play)! If you did a bridge activity every day, awesome! I can't wait to see what that babe learned! If you had a weekly library trip, with bedtime stories each night, praise the Lord! There will be less reading regression, and you're instilling a love of reading in your child!
•
However your summer looked, if your student was loved and nurtured, you're a great parent, and there's no reason to apologize to that teacher! 💜
