~Back to School Stack~

It is that time of year! I now have a 1st grader and a 5th grader. I also started teaching first grade this year too. It may end up being something permanent, it may not. We shall see. I hope it is permanent because of how much work I have been putting into the classroom …

~August TBR~

August is here, which means back to school, back to work, and finals for class, so I am not super committed to this TBR list. It is time to sharpen up my scheduling and multi-tasking skills if I want to get through it all. I am going to miss staying up all hours reading and …

~June Highlights~

So June took a wild turn. We had vacations planned, a Father's Day trip, and plans for our 13th wedding anniversary, and then after two years of avoiding it...I got COVID. I still don't know how, but thankfully we are all fully vaccinated so it wasn't as bad as it could have been. But that …
