April 22, 2022 Professional Development is an annual requirement for all educators at all letters. Not only do we need to earn points to renew our certifications, but we need to continue to refine our craft as our students, their needs, and applications of skills in the world continue to evolve. Most schools I have…
April 19, 2022 I’ve been on my minimalism journey for about 7 years now. I stumbled upon it by pure accident. I have a severe dust allergy and struggled managing it. I was on so many medications that just made me feel awful and we spent so much time cleaning or moving things around and…
April 15, 2022 Standardized testing is a hot topic with both parents and educators. Recently it was announced that FSA (the Florida Standards Assessment) will end after this year. After being in education for 15 years, I am not sad to see it go for many reasons. It is stressful for students, it takes up…
April 13, 2022 Laundry day seems to be a day of back and forth distraction, so I have learned to use it as a meal prep day, especially since cooking in the RV makes it hot in here. Today, amidst 4 loads of laundry, I am prepping sausage for a breakfast casserole tonight and stuffings…

January 21, 2022 I’d been planning this blog post for the beginning of the Spring term for a few months, sketching ideas, refreshing my memory from past experience, etc. I remember how crazy it can be to come back after Winter Break, ready to tackle the last half of the year and finally feel like…
January 6, 2022 Being the first full week of the new year, it’s time to wrap up 2021 and get ready to tackle 2022. Especially since some of our normal routines and needs were neglected the last couple of years due to Covid closures and limitations. As educators, it can be easy to neglect things…
January 1, 2022 Happy New Year! I thought I’d start this year out with reaching some goals! Evaluations are a part of every educator’s school year and can be quite daunting because of so many uncontrollable variables. With many educators’ jobs being dependent on a good evaluation to be offered a position the next year…
