A Teacher on Vacation

Image
It's summer and I know what you're thinking. Your child's teachers are all sipping mojito's on a beach somewhere or possibly sleeping their days away and you know what.. you're kinda right. I have been to the beach, I have taken a nap- side note, I'm super impressed by this because I'm not only a teacher, I'm a mom and let's face it, no matter what you do, it's nearly impossible for a mom to take a nap! Anyways, the fact of the matter is, when I'm on summer break I go on vacation, I drink.. a lot (shh) and I spend some very much needed time with my family. What you most likely don't think about though is that I take at least 2 hours a days, often much more, and devote that to improving my teaching Yep, you heard me, I work... during the summer! And guess what, it's also unpaid work! Why on earth would I work for free during summer? Well, the answer to that is extremely simple. I work so that I can make the year better for my ...

"Man's Work"

During a recent Ladies Night- In event with some friends, the topic of “man’s work” came about. You see, “man’s work” are task that are considered masculine and therefore completed by men.

Living the "Florida Life"

What is it really like to live in Florida? Living in coastal Florida means that we are surrounded by water, seriously its everywhere! You would think that we would go to the beach constantly or at least do fun water related activities but no, we didn't. The first year that we lived here, my husband and I rarely went to the beach with our kids or really partook in any water related activities. And to be honest, I'm not really sure why. It's not like we didn't know how to swim or had any sort of phobia, we just didn't go often. Towards the beginning of our second summer in Florida, Rick and I decided to take the girls to a beach-side restaurant for dinner. It was absolutely gorgeous! The weather was perfect, a nice warm, salty, breeze and there was music in the background as the sun was setting. Our girls danced along to the sound of the music and the sky was painted in the most beautiful colors you'd ever see. While we sat there, we talked reflected on ...
