One teacher's blog sharing about life, in and outside the classroom.
When my husband and I got married 5 years ago, everyone shared their advice for a good marriage. It can be overwhelming and, as someone with divorced parents, felt like there was a lot of pressure to “get it right.” After these five years together, there are pieces of marriage advice that I have found […]
When it comes to my desk, I have a spot for everything. It’s also a good measure of how I’m doing. If my desk is a mess, I am a mess lol. So I really try to keep my desk space cleaned up, not only to remain organized, but also for my mental health. So […]

Over my 7 years of teaching, I have always had a mix of student abilities. From Advanced Placement to co-taught with a special education teacher, there are habits that successful students possess, no matter their ability. When students develop these habits and use them consistently, not only are they more prone to do well in […]
There’s no denying that teaching and parenting are all consuming. And when you’re both, it feels like sometimes it’s hard to draw the line and switch from teacher to parent and back again. After I had my daughter, I can honestly say that that was the hardest transition for me to handle. But after three […]
