March was a month to remember, wasn’t it? I will vividly recall the Thursday evening I spent in my classroom packing up my school bag after being told to take everything I might need in case I couldn’t come back to the building. Even then, I did not clearly understand what was ahead. I said […]

As soon as we knew that “school” would happen at home for while, we talked to Harper and Jameson about the things we wanted to be sure to include.

Eeeek! How did Christmas sneak up so quickly? Just like that, it’s December 21 and I am checking my lists twice, thrice, and am still asking do I have enough presents? With Thanksgiving being a little late this year, it seems like Christmas came tumbling at me and will be over in a blink of […]
