If you're somehow involved with the field of education -- students, teachers, parents -- you know the pandemic has posed challenges we never thought we'd encounter. Students, especially younger learners, are prematurely left to manage their own schedules during the week. All teachers are in year one again in many ways, desperately trying to adapt … Continue reading Teaching in a Pandemic
Disclaimer: I am NOT a health expert! This is just my personal experience with health and fitness. This story begins with my decision to remove myself from social media. Read more about my reasons and the effects being off social media has had on my life since 2018 on Maggie's blog. While I did feel … Continue reading I LOST 1/4 OF MY BODY WEIGHT IN 9 MONTHS!
This is long overdue. My blog is not active. I'm not on social media to promote myself. Maybe it doesn't matter.

Okay, so it’s only day two and my co-teacher and I are REALLY hoping for the first snow day of the semester tomorrow (prayers please). But still. I have a desk and a key to the classroom and a badge and access to … Continue reading To My Teachers

Because this is the end of my challenge, I don’t know where to start but I know exactly where this post is going (for once). Life coming full circle is so beautiful. I guess I can start five years ago, about this time of year, walking into Lee’s Summit North High School to meet with … Continue reading K-Love’s 30 Day Challenge: Day 30
