A Midsummer Day’s…Reflection
A little fun fact about me: I love Shakespeare. While doing my undergraduate work, I majored in English AND Elementary Education, and whereas I wasn't reading Shakespeare in my children's lit classes, I was reading it in all the others.

The Other I

I also took a break from posting a lot on my social media page because I wanted to make sure that what I was writing and posting was valuable and of substance. Now, I will fully admit that… Continue reading The Other I
Treat Yo’self at Home
Sundays, to me, are a great day to slow things down a little - it helps me get into the right mindset for the upcoming week. With that in mind, a while ago I decided to create an 'at home spa basket' for myself - something to look forward to on days like a Sunday.… Continue reading Treat Yo’self at Home
