Once we settled on the dates and confirmed the airline prices, our trip was booked. “Not sure it’s worth it to go for only four days” comments my mom. I reply, “When traveling with young kids- four days is teetering on too long- especially since we have to travel on both ends of the trip…… Continue reading Four Days

A Roadtrip with Sunshine
Day 5 of the March Slice of Life Challenge hosted by the Two Writing Teachers! #SOL24 Dear Sunshine, Thank you for showing up today. I wasn’t so sure you were going to join us. It was pretty overcast and rainy when we left home. An hour into our drive, rain left and suddenly you appeared.…… Continue reading A Roadtrip with Sunshine
Seashells
One of the main things my oldest wanted to do on this vacation was to go to the beach and collect seashells. Her intentions were to collect enough to make necklaces for everyone. Mine were to “accidentally” leave the bucket behind. While she was collecting intently along the beach, I noticed for every intact seashell…… Continue reading Seashells
A Long Wait
So much depends upon Toes dipped in water waves crashing And a smile that spreads from ear to ear. Well, ocean- it’s been long overdue, but we have finally come to appreciate you!

Why do I feel so exhausted? Teaching has always been more than just a job to me.…… Continue reading Is this another confession slice?
Hard to Imagine
It’s hard to imagine that we were all here over 20 years. It wasn’t the last time we all got together with you still making us meatballs, but possibly the last at the condo. It brought a smile to my face as I looked down on the dock today. Of course it’s not the same…… Continue reading Hard to Imagine
Just our luck
With two elementary age kids and being a teacher myself, you can imagine the exposure we get to all of the germs. My children happen to be amazing recipients for every possible illness- their bodies a perfect vessel. Strep is one that frequents our house often. Between the two of them, we’ve tested positive for…… Continue reading Just our luck
Poetry Comics
Day 2 of the March Slice of Life Challenge hosted by the Two Writing Teachers! #SOL24 I happily joined a mini-poetry planning session with two friends a couple weeks ago. We oohed and awed over Grant Snider’s new book, Poetry Comics (you can snag your own copy at the end of this month). We shared…… Continue reading Poetry Comics
Packing
Packing looks very different for my husband and I. For starters, I pack for three while he only packs for one. It must be nice to have no one relying on you to make sure the goggles are in the bag, or the “right” socks have a matching pair. He just tosses his clothes in…… Continue reading Packing
