I wear many hats at work each day. At any given time I can be educator, life coach, secretary, mom, cheerleader, college counselor, and disciplinarian. Today our tenth grade students took a high stakes test that is required for graduation. This was the first opportunity for the students to take the test. They have been [...]
My least favorite part of any questionnaire has always been the hobbies and interests section. In the past, the only hobbies and interest boxes I could have checked were shopping at the mall, nursing teenage crushes on boys, reality television, and travel. Thankfully, my thirties have found me a more confident and interesting woman. I [...]
While my brain space used to be taken up with weight loss, teaching, calorie counting, and reality television, its now almost all consumed with the art of baby making.

Last night for date night, Mr. Wonderful and I watched Little Women. Clearly, it was my turn to pick, but I picked it specifically because I was thinking a lot about my sisters. We recently returned from an amazing vacation with my sister and her husband. It was even more fun than I hoped it [...]
Today, I took the train to work for the first time. I had my route all planned out and was so excited to utilize L.A.’s glamorous public transportation system. The best part of it all is that I can walk from my house to the train station, then walk from the train station to work. [...]
I went to a work meeting today and left feeling pretty bummed out. It was a big meeting with multiple school sites and I was going to see my old coworkers for the first time since I left. Getting ready this morning, I felt as if I was going to see an ex boyfriend for [...]
I am a pretty big fan of girl power pop songs that demand a good car dance. This especially includes anything Katy Perry. The other day, I was driving home from work and her current hit, “Last Friday Night” came on the radio. Immediately my mood perked up and I smiled as I thought about [...]
