marching through a primary world
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and today I’m at home nursing a sick child. There is nothing worse than not being able to help your baby feel better. This just STINKS. We could absolutely use the prayers. Fevers scare the daylights out of me…especially when the Motrin/Tylenol combo doesn’t do a thing to relieve them. For those of you who will… Read More
Can y’all believe it’s almost already Valentine’s Day? Does it seem someone pressed fast forward on February? Or nah? Well…that’s what it feels like to me. Moving on.

My oldest played another exciting game of basketball yesterday {I should also add that these games are nothing short of comical} and then we enjoyed a little family lunch in town. After lunch, I rushed home to take a little siesta and then… Read More

Anyone struggling with missing pencils? Try this out! Each students gets 4 pencils to keep inside of his/her toothbrush holder. Give kids a small incentive on Friday if all 4 pencils remain for the...
Time for another Saturday Share! Currently, I’m reading Disrupting Thinking (for PD) and for fun I’m reading Originals by Adam Grant and wanting to start The Weight of Silence by Heather Gudenkauf. What about you?!
