There is nothing quite like DRA’ing and doing fluency tests on 25 children within the span of a few weeks. But I have cracked the code to get it all done without losing my sanity! I still have a few left to go but I am almost done for the year.
First Trimester Essentials
FEATURED
Well I am clear out of the first trimester and while I didn’t have any morning sickness or anything like that (thank goodness), there were a lot of changes that happened these past couple months. Here are 5 things I have loved having in the first trimester!
I am living for spring outfits! I am really into dresses lately and fun pants. Anything that has a little bit of color but is still pretty neutral & obviously I have to be able to sit on the floor or be jumping around in them. I linked all of these finds for you so you don’t have to go out and search. These are from some of my favorite stores : Amazon, Target, Get Your Teach on, Lulu’s, and Abercrombie.
“Healthy” Habits I No Longer Do
FEATURED
I have been on my health journey for a long time depending on when you decide the starting point was.

However, as my life has changed and my priorities change, so have my eating habits. In this blog I share about why I stopped tracking macros and my plans moving forward with my eating habits!
Persevering Through the Hard Days
FEATURED
You know those days when your kids finally leave and you feel as though your brain is fried, your energy is gone, and you don’t know how you’re going to make it to tomorrow? Those days suck and I’m having one today.
The morning is the easiest time for me to stick to my habits because there is little interruption. Cody’s still asleep and I can get a lot done. Whether it’s the weekend or before school, these 3 things are non-negotiables for me.
Read alouds are my favorite! It is so hard for me to choose because there are so many I love to read. Each year, I never get tired of re-reading past favorites but I always try to add new ones. I do my best to change up genres and differentiate character personalities and attributes to showcase a plethora of books and situations to my students.
When I was in college I would restrict myself all week long and eat only “healthy foods” and then the weekend would come around and I’d have a huge cheat day with the greasiest food and lots of alcohol. Here is how I changed my mindset around this habit.
