#PostRealLife
We all follow a person on social media who seems to have it all together. Six kids, a book deal, the immaculate house. Their constant posts invoke instant envy for those of us REAL people out there.

Summer Bucket List 2016
The school year has officially come to a close. Each year I’m always astounded by how quickly things wrap up.

Happy Mother’s Day
I will be spending this Mother’s Day at home snuggling with my little girl. I will never complain about that although I hate that she’s been battling a fever since Saturday morning.

This Is My Time: Ode To First Light
This Is My Time: Ode to First Light Lauren Sisley At first light I am alone, but also accompanied by characters, stories, and worlds borne of an imagination. Burning a candle on both ends I slave away in my den breaking only for sips of tepid coffee. The other members of my family are fastContinue reading “This Is My Time: Ode To First Light”
Inaugural Zoo Trip 2016
We woke up this morning with the anticipation of our first zoo trip in 2016. Arianna was up and at ’em early. We awoke to the sounds of her bounding around the house excitedly.

#Spring Break Goals
Spring Break: Two of the sweetest sounding words for any student or teacher. The terms when used together have the meaning-pretending that it is summer vacation. As a teacher this is my last hiatus before the impending summer. Spring Break is a much anticipated milestone in the educational calendar.
