Each batch of kids I teach is different and in order to effectively “reach” each of them I try to adapt my approach, so I can best help them. I’ve never taught the same from one year to the next because no two batches of students are exactly the same. The ultimate goal is to leave...

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that...

It seems like every time I turn around there is another battle to be fought. Why is it that nothing is straightforward and easy anymore? I just had a baby, right? When we found out we were pregnant we got legally married even though we were in the process of planning our actual wedding. We did...

Did you know that today, January 22nd 2009, is the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade? I am sure you already know that I am pro-choice big time, since I blogged for choice last year and all. I don’t think I’ll ever have an abortion but that doesn’t mean I’ll let anyone take my right away....

Nothing much is going on this weekend. We are staying in, trying to not spend money and just enjoy some quite time. Last night we went to N’s boss’ Christmas party and had fun, it was the first time I met all his coworkers since moving here. We weren’t out too late then we came home...

She was attending a rally in Jeffersonville on the 29th according to this article and the plan was for him to interview her at the airport in the afternoon of the 29th. When he found out his first reaction was, “How am I going to...

For those of you who don’t know about N and I we just got engaged but have been together for about 6 years. We’ve been living together for 5 of those years, our finances and our lives are intertwined. We have joint checking accounts, shared credit card accounts, we are beneficiaries on life insurance policies,...
