Five essentials for infant playtime

Some mommies just 'get it.'The minute they find out that they have a bun in the oven, they devour books detailing the essentials of infant care.  These moms spend their free time in the first trimester (in between trips to the bathroom...for whatever reason) thumbing through thousands of pages of advice.  When it comes time to registering, they've already narrowed down their carseat, Continue Reading

Top 10 Disney movies of all time

June 18, 2014 By Bekah

A friend of mine posted a link to this fabulous quiz this morning and it got me thinking; I know far too much about Disney movies.  I scored a perfect 9/9.In fact, as my husband lamented what is to come of our future movie-going experiences, I secretly rejoiced that I would be able to have an excuse to see a Disney film without sideways glances from other adults...with their Continue Reading

When the district hands you lemons, stop dancing with them (TTT)

June 17, 2014 By Bekah

I have never been more eager to learn than during my time as a student teacher. Everything was new.  Every word that my mentor teacher spoke was an opportunity for me to learn something new.  Like a little puppy, I waited and wagged my tail at any opportunity to jump into my new role as teacher.  Any time I was given a chance to lead a lesson, I ran unbridled into this new world of Continue Reading

Time away

Good morning, loyal readers.I didn't announce my week-long break from blogging, but I enjoyed a week at the beach with my family in Kiawah Islands, South Carolina last week.  I attempted to write on an iPad, but found that a touch screen keyboard doesn't exactly allow for easy typing.Bennett's first full week at the beach was incredible.  The weather was absolutely perfect (think 75-80 Continue Reading

A Shorts Story

June 2, 2014 By Bekah

You may have seen this article about a Quebec teen protesting the dress code.Her argument for her impertinence: "Don’t humiliate her because she is wearing shorts. It’s hot outside. Instead of shaming girls for their bodies, teach boys that girls are not sexual objects."I teach fourteen and fifteen year old boys. I also teach fourteen and fifteen year old girls. I can say with certainty that Continue Reading
