5 Good Things No. 2

Monday again! However, this is sort of my last workday Monday. Woo Hoo! Today is my day to head to school and clean up my classroom and close out the school year. I’d say the 2019-2020 school year will go down as the strangest year I’ve had of my teaching career. I’m sure that goes for most of us teachers. We did get some good news in finding out that the Hamilton movie, which is just the Broadway stage production with the original cast filmed, will be coming to Disney+ on July 3rd! My theater nerd self is stoked! Who else is excited?

5 Good Things

So the weather man said we’ll be in the 90s by the end of the week, and I’m not happy about it. I loved the cooler temperatures from the weekend. I spent most of Saturday outside on the deck under the umbrella with a new book. Can you believe I got Bernie smiling for the camera? I’m framing that photo. I also came across a few other things I wanted to share with you.

Currently Loving- April 2020

Bonjour! (I’m learning French in quarantine! More on that later.)
Isn’t Jack sweet in the sunshine? He does this most every day, and I think it’s so dang precious.
I have to say how much I’m actually enjoying quarantine. I mean, today, this particular day that I’m writing this blog, I’m very motivated and have crushed my to-do list for the past two days. Tomorrow might be one of those days that I have a horrible day, because haven’t we all had them? But today I’m feeling good about things and loving that I’m finally feeling like getting back to this blog and sharing some of my favorite things from this month with you.

Three FREE Resources to Help Avoid the COVID-19 Nineteen

I’m not sure if that title conveys exactly what I am hoping to say, but basically, I’ve found some free resources that have helped me not gain any weight during our quarantine and I’d like to share them with you. I’m not saying I’ve lost any weight, because let’s all be honest and admit that those of us not going to work everyday are definitely snacking more and baking things we wouldn’t normally bake. And of course eating those things! So here are three resources that I’ve found helpful that can all be found on YouTube.

Quarantine Self Care

Happy Beautiful Saturday! I hope you’ve all had a great week and are enjoying the gorgeous day we’re having. This morning I woke up with a desire to do a little self care, and I wanted to do a quick roundup of all the products I used. Most are Beautycounter, but you can always take the idea and adapt to the products you already have in your cabinet.

Currently Loving- February 2020

This short month brought along some incredible loves from good news to good products and fun experiences to fun fashion. Let’s start with some good news.

Currently Loving- January 2020

The longest month of the year is FINALLY over! I feel as happy about that as James and Margaret look up there. 🙂 I totally felt that whole January 77th thing that was floating around the internet. The upside of a long month is that I’ve got lots to share. So settle in for a little bit and see what I’ve been loving this past month.

What I Read in 2019

If you’ve been around for a while, you know that I love to read. I’m in a book club, I subscribe to the Buzzfeed Books Newsletter, and I follow several Bookstagramers. I usually average a book a month, but this year I managed to work in twenty two books! Yes, several were audio books, but I consider that “reading” as well. If reading is your thing, scroll on through to see if you’ve read the books on my list or if there are a few titles you need to add to your TBR (to be read) list.

Currently Loving- December 2019

Hi, friends! Long time no see. I took a little break from blogging, and I’m happy to return today. I tend to take breaks periodically. I admit that this time around it has had a lot to do with the time of year and the stress of my teaching job. It’s all caused a lull in creativity for the blog, and for that I apologize. I’m hoping 2020 brings more clarity and creativity for this space and just for life in general. But for now let’s recap the last month of 2019. Grab your coffee or tea or wine and let’s get started.

Currently Loving- November 2019

Happy, happy December! Though I thoroughly enjoyed November, I’m so happy to do all things Christmas. It really does feel like the most wonderful time of the year. I think a lot of that is because it’s so visually pleasing and the music is so good. 🙂 I know that music comment won’t go over well with a few of you (ahem, Paul), but I don’t care. I am who I am. November was particularly busy and fun. If you’re new around here my monthly wrap-ups are about things I’ve done and products I’ve enjoyed. It’s basically a monthly account of what life has been like for me. It started off pretty great and ended great, too. Let’s get started.
