I thought for the holiday I would post a super easy, healthy snack to bring to a party or just to make for fun. It’s all over Pinterest, costs about $5 and takes less than 10 minutes to assemble. You need: 1 package strawberries 4 large bananas 1 cup blueberries 10 bamboo skewers 1 cup water mixed with juice from 1 half lemon … Continue reading happy 4th of duh-ly
My love language is gifts. I love picking out the most perfect present for someone, and I judge my relationships based upon the items purchased for my birthday or Christmas (or graduation, 12/2015…) Over the past year I’ve been cleaning out my house which is full (and I mean full) of my mom’s possessions from the last 40 years or so. One of her collections happened … Continue reading the greatest female wrapper
I have been to three New Kids on the Block concerts in the last 7 years, and I can barely sing one of their songs. No, I’m not a “Blockhead”, but I am always drawn in to their massive experience by their touring partners. In 2008 they did an epic man band performance with Backstreet Boys, and then a few years ago partnered with 98• and … Continue reading pop princess
My mom claims I began reading road signs along the Pennsylvania turnpike at two years old and shocked everyone into thinking I was a baby genius. I’m not sure that I totally believe her, as I think it was a story intended to make me feel supremely guilty over the Cs that came home on my report cards. ([Siiiiiigh] C, really? You were a baby … Continue reading summer reading
I always knew I wanted to be a teacher, from the time I was very young. I’ve always enjoyed expressing my creativity, getting organized and being bossy💁🏽. As I’ve been working on my Master’s degree in education, I have been fortunate enough to gain priceless experience through substitute teaching at a wonderful middle school for three years. As my time there draws to a close … Continue reading life lessons from a substitute teacher
I hosted an adult game night at my house (get your mind out of the gutter) and it was surprisingly easy to put together. We had a ton of fun, and it brought out everyone’s bloodthirsty competitive side, which is always good for a party. Decor: Many game nights that I looked at online had a red and black casino theme, but when I … Continue reading game on
I have mixed feelings about specialty stores like Trader Joes and Whole Foods, mostly because my mom raised me on a ShopRite diet and I turned out relatively normal. Lately though I have been trying to transform my typical not-so-great eating habits to slightly more healthy ones. I decided to brave the post-work Whole Foods crowd and see what the fuss is all about. Entering … Continue reading my first trip to whole foods
When I was teaching preschool, I asked my kids what our moms do for us. Their responses were cute, funny, heartfelt and true. Our moms are often the most important people in our lives, and even if they’re not with us physically they still influence us daily. Here are some of my all time favorite moms: Kris Jenner (hold your judgement) Yea, yea … Continue reading mother knows best
Day 1: Admit it, we all loved that day in computer class when you were finally allowed to play Oregon Trail, even though your oxen drowned in the river, Indians raided your food supply and your family died of horrible diseases and you had to leave them behind. Our trek through the Columbia River Gorge began after a scenic drive down from Seattle. My friend Jordan … Continue reading the oregon trail
Day 1: Charlene flew in to join us for the second half of the great PNW adventure, and it really made up for leaving the treehouse. Even though she was suffering from jet lag, we immediately forced her to set out on sightseeing in the Emerald City. We tried to go up in the Space Needle, but per usual on our trip it closed early. It … Continue reading sights of seattle
