I’m joining in at Organizing Junkie this week to keep myself on track with home cooking healthy meals. One thing I’ve noticed since I started regular exercise is that I am starving, which makes it much too easy to grab the wrong thing. We also got our first CSA share last week so you’ll see […]
You Win Some, You Lose Some
If you have read this blog for any brief amount of time, then you probably know two of my favorite things are yarn and books. This summer I decided to join an online bookclub hosted by Leslie Anne at the blog LaLa Life. We’ve been friends over on GoodReads for a while so I knew […]
Moving on to Summer
I’ve been debating if this really IS the first weekend of summer since most of it was spent fretting over school and cleaning/packing up my classroom. In the end, however, I decided it still counted because there would be no commute into school on Monday. I’ve stepped away from blogging for a variety of reasons […]
Where is a Three Day Weekend When You Need One?
Truly, I believe that time passes nearly instantly from when I lock my classroom door on Friday and unlock it on Monday. I have another four day work week (yay!) so I am burning the nearly midnight oil working on lesson plans. Goodness it is much too much trouble to miss one measly day of […]
In the Kitchen
We have a long stretch of time at home (we often go away for long weekends) so we are making a concerted effort to eat at home. Argh, not my favorite thing, cooking, but I’m still trying. Yesterday I made a big lasagna for lunch which was mostly gone afterwards and what was left I […]
Weekending
It’s been a quiet weekend so I thought I’d join Karen today. Sadly, it went much too fast. On Friday, my son was in Hartford at the State House with other kids who are participating in the Rotary Youth Exchange. He is the only out-bound student (meaning he is going abroad next year) from our […]
Yarn Along :: February 22, 2017
Well, this was meant to go up yesterday but I’ve been battling a migraine since going back to school. I keep meaning to check if it’s a full moon! Truly, though, the kids aren’t the cause of the migraine but their exuberance makes it difficult to cope at times. We had a long weekend for […]
Yarn Along :: February 9, 2017
Joining Ginny this week for Yarn Along. I’ve been posting more on Instagram lately. If I were to post only knitting here there would be few and far between going up because I seems to have lost most of my knitting speed. I think the fact that I have books to go along with these […]
Weekend WIP
I know, I know…the same sad sock. I added on the red for the toes so I have high hopes that this will be done tomorrow. I’ve made it a point to log in some devoted knitting time and it has paid off. I set my watch alarm for an hour and another half hour […]
2017 Reading Challenge
2017 Reading Challenge Casey has read 0 books toward her goal of 24 books. hide 0 of 24 (0%) view books Well, this year I didn’t quite make my goal of 45 books, even counting some new picture books I’d found for my classroom. I did dial it down a bit this year, though, thinking […]
