In the Beginning Back when I didn’t put a lot of thought into it, I would post snaps of my life on Instagram: what I was wearing, what I was cooking, where I was going, you know, just the usual run of the mill, day to day shots, fun stuff without overthinking it, just doing […]
“The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.” Ralph Waldo Emerson For the most part, a teacher’s job is hands on and face to face.

Oh my goodness, it has been months since I last posted something for y’all, and I am so sorry. The closing of the school year was one the most hectic I have experienced in a long time. You’d think this was my first year teaching and not my 19th. But now that all that is […]
Hey y’all! I’ve made it my goal to make every room in my apartment a place that brings me joy. Last month I shared with you my Cozy Corner, and this month, I’m going to be sharing with you my master bathroom transformed into my own personal spa. I did do a little research, but […]
