Finding my zen, eating good food, and learning to self-love
And just like that, summer is over. Anyone else feel as though it absolutely flew by? Today is the first day back at school, and I’m feeling ok about it. Last year I remember having horrible anxiety. My husband was comforting me in bed as tears were streaming down my cheeks. I was so nervous… Continue reading Back to School
Embrace the old lady in you
July Goal Happy July! This is one of my favorite months. I feel like everyone makes a huge effort to get outside and enjoy the weather in the heart of summer. Bring on all the barbecues, sunshine, grilling, and flip flops. I’m also super excited to celebrate the 4th with friends this week. It’s such… Continue reading July Goal
Happy Monday friends! And happy 2nd anniversary to me and my hubby! I thought to celebrate I’d share a bit about our day on the blog. These two years have completely flown by; it’s hard to believe it’s been two years already. I enjoyed the planning process for the most part; however, I remember how… Continue reading Anniversary Addition

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
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
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
Hello! How’s everyone’s day going? I started my day with an easy walk at the gym and some ab exercises. I was feeling super sore, so I just wanted to move a little bit before work without doing anything too crazy. Speaking of walking, let’s talk about fitbit. I bought a fitbit as soon as… Continue reading Why I Stopped Wearing a Fitbit
