My Moment
Hello friends! I thought today I’d share what I like to call, my moment. Before I explain what this is, let me remind you that I do not yet have any children. When that day comes, I’m sure my moment may have to be modified a bit. Perhaps knowing this, is part of the reason… Continue reading My Moment
Summer Bucket List
Even though teaching is beyond exhausting, there is nothing sweeter than giving the last final, submitting grades, and walking out into the sunshine for 10 weeks to relax and recharge. I know teachers often get a bad reputation for having that time off, but if you know any teachers, you know we are not lazy… Continue reading Summer Bucket List
Accepting Mediocrity
Hello! There was an option contest at work for students, and many opted in to take this test. They had to pay $10 and had the chance to get national recognition. Most of our students did extremely well, but a handful of students did not place. A few of my colleagues and I had the… Continue reading Accepting Mediocrity
May Goal
Happy May! I love this month. Seeing the flowers start to bloom is such a sign of hope as the Chicago cold days finally start to leave. As I wrote in my last blog post, my April goal of meditating didn’t happen. While it’s an excuse, there was just too many things going on and… Continue reading May Goal

I bought a fitbit as soon as… Continue reading Why I Stopped Wearing a Fitbit

Now that it’s April, Chicago tends to finally feel some warmer temperatures. I cannot be more excited. Last month my goal was to read “The… Continue reading April Goal
My Love for Whole Foods
Hi friends! Let’s talk Whole foods or should I say Whole paycheck? While it’s definitely not good on the budget, Whole Foods is one of my favorite places. Does anyone else absolutely love walking around the grocery store? Especially when you’re in no hurry, and you can aimlessly stroll up and down the aisle looking… Continue reading My Love for Whole Foods
5 Things
I was tagged on Instagram to share 5 things about myself, so I thought I’d share that on my blog as well. *I’m a high school Italian and Spanish teacher. This is my 7th year, and some days are fantastic and some days are not. High school can be such a difficult age, and I… Continue reading 5 Things
February Goal
One month down in my year of self-love. January was focusing on fixing the gut with the Whole30, and I absolutely loved it. My stomach bloat and pain were almost entirely gone. Now the hard part: balance. The most difficult part was by far the weekends. Tim and I love to go out for dinner,… Continue reading February Goal
