A piece of American Pie

I would like to preface this post with a notice that I’m a 90’s kid, so my early teenage years were during the release of American Pie. Yes I’m referring to the movie that made every parent rethink sending their child to band camp. Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s, our idea of fun…… Continue reading A piece of American Pie

It’s not just YouTube…

YouTube. Don’t even get me started. Sure- it’s great for some things. Want to learn how to build a shelf, or figure out how to install a car seat? YouTube has people walking you through the process step by step. Missed the episode of what you wanted to watch, but you only wanted to see…… Continue reading It’s not just YouTube…

It helps my procrastination). The latest episode has my mind reeling. The doctors go out for a night of karaoke…… Continue reading Superhero or Villian?

Add that to the list

Spring break is almost over. I can feel the pull from school. Not even a gentle tug, but more like that last ditch effort in a tug-of-war match when you yank with all of your might. My daughter has been asking for a book. One that I own in my classroom. I’m not sure why…… Continue reading Add that to the list
