Cold Teacher & Mom Coffee Solved: The Ember Mug
28 February 2020
Every year around the holidays, I get a TON of Starbucks gift cards from students. They add up; if I stick with my usual grande iced coffee in a Venti cup, unsweetened with almond milk, I usually could go to Starbucks for about a week or two.
This school year, it meant I could go everyday, including weekends, for about two MONTHS. I save the cards and usually get myself a nice travel mug, but this year, I wanted to try something different: the Ember Mug.
Chasing the Elusive Balance
17 February 2020
Today with Sarah over at Cozy Little Joys, we are talking about how we try and attain a work life balance, especially since we are both teachers!
Sarah is an elementary teacher, and I am a middle school teacher with a specific content area, so we definitely have different takes on it. Check out her blog post for her three strategies on how to set boundaries between work and home here.
Being a mom - be it stay at home, work from home, work part time, work full time - is no joke. There are so many different perspectives and strategies out there, it can get overwhelming.
When someone asked me how I tried to maintain that work and life balance, it made me step back and think, "How do I keep from going insane? How do I keep on top of it?"

This is pretty much me on afternoons after school when I do have to get things for work done - I am on the couch working, and Julian will be playing here or in his room - I can still be nearby and get things done.

Parenting: Changed Thoughts About Elf on a Shelf

At least I used to.
The concept behind it is hard for me to grasp - this Elf shows up all of a sudden in the house right around the Christmas season, only to report on children's naughty or nice behavior back to Santa?
