Since moving to Washington and even a little before then, I had been homeschooling my 5 yo daughter. In lieu of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, our schools are closed for the next six weeks, which means my 8 yo son will be home with me as well. I have created a homeschool itinerary that has […]
I was thinking of The Watson’s Move to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis when I wrote the title for this post. It’s been my hashtag since I announced that we were packing up our things to leave Las Vegas. It’s been a month since we’ve called Washington State our home. We moved in on Christmas […]

My Favorite Memory Of My Mother is the day she became a grandmother. She flew out a couple days before Elijah was born. She was hoping to be right on time for his delivery but my little boy was a little late. She came with me to the hospital as they induced me. I remember […]
During Reading Week and while waiting for my students to be picked up, a parent handed me a ton of books. I say ton, but it was more like 12 books. To me it was a ton because we are in such desperate need of books in my classroom. It was like she was handing […]
Hello there! As you can see in the title, this post is about head wraps! What’s a head wrap? A head wrap is a fun way to accessorize your hair/head using a scarf. Now you don’t want to use a winter scarf. You want to use a scarf that is light weight. It can have […]
