“Oh crap!” I can’t go to bed! I haven’t posted yet today! I said frantically reaching for the nearest piece of technology. A half-dead iPad is my best option – even if it means I can’t see what I’m typing. I have a great idea for an upcoming post, but am too busy thinking of […]

It’s interesting how we fall into habits and patterns. How they sneak up on us and just become an ingrained part of what we do. Each night when I tuck the kids into bed, we sit on the lower bunk and read a few books. By now, the kids know that they get to sit on […]

Dear Amanda, I figured this image today was the perfect image to represent our relationship.

There’s so much to enjoy in this […]

Dance Day. Granted, everyday has the potential to be interesting working with middle school students, but on dance day, it’s even more so. Combine that with the fact that today is the semi-formal evening dance and it could make for a more interesting day indeed! Thinking back, I recall my first ever Dowling Dance. Garth […]

I sat there on the living room floor, trying to catch glimpses of the computer glowing before me as my daughter is busy pinning what has to be every last hair pretty she owns into my shoulda-been-washed-this-morning hair. Phrases like, “just a second, Honey,” and “Move right here, Babe,” gently fell from lips that revolted […]
