Posted on December 3, 2020 by 12raisins

On this 30th last day of 2020 not only am I grateful for being at home with myself, I’m grateful for becoming a homeowner. Something I’d just about given up on ever happening.

Daily Musings 64 “is it self-care if…”

Posted on November 22, 2020 by 12raisins

I spent the day in bed, absolutely uninterrupted. I haven’t had an uninterrupted day to myself in years. Not since having my little guy. So today was kind of a big deal for me.

Daily Musings 43 🎃

Posted on November 1, 2020November 1, 2020 by 12raisins

My little guy loves Halloween. He’s been obsessed with it for a while and I think the fascination began with pumpkins. Just recently he refused to nap if not with his pumpkin.

Daily Musings 40 “settling in”

Posted on October 29, 2020 by 12raisins

My students love to dance. I love to dance too so this gives me great joy. Kindergarten, Covid-19 style is a pretty sad first experience of school, but it is what it is and the little ones know no better.
