January 2025
I don’t think I’ve ever been more ready to take on a new year! I can’t tell you where this feeling is coming from – or unfortunately how to find it in yourself – but I’m just feeling ready to tackle all of the things. It’s honestly super refreshing to know that I have changes to make and truly want to make them. That’s my mindset as we go into 2025, I’m feeling all of the “let’s do this” and “you’ve got this” vibes and I’m leaning all of the way into them.

Teaching units of time with visuals that make them a little more concrete can be so helpful! I put together this set a few years ago for my preschoolers and I got to use it over break with my daughter too. I’m a visual learner, so being able to see what things…

One Little Word for 2023
The holidays have been a whirlwind this year – we started our break a little early after getting the flu, and once we recovered it was full steam ahead for the last week of the year. Right now I’m exhausted, but also ready to take a deep breath and embrace the opportunity for a fresh start that comes with the beginning of a new year. One of my favorite ways to set a focus for the year is to identify one little word to keep me grounded. My one little word for 2023 is BELIEVE. This year will be a big leap for me – the first year that I’m…
