Day 31 – Reminiscing
Today I am at a coffee shop catching up with one of my college roommates. We live relatively close to each other, but she is in grad school, and it is hard to find time to get together with our conflicting schedules. Our free time lined up today, so we are having coffee just catching […]

Day 29 – Immersed
This seems to be the perfect word to describe my day. I’ve always loved to read. But while I was in high school and college, there never seemed to be any time to read for enjoyment. Quarantine unleashed my love for reading. Because I knew I’d have time over break, I ordered a book I’ve […]

Day 28 – Thankful
My family and I are all spread apart. We all grew up together in Iowa but none of my immediate family live there anymore. I have 3 brothers, Jeremy, Dylan and Zac. My parents moved to Colorado about 3 years ago, while my brother Jeremy and I were still in college. They love it and […]

Day 27 – Quiet
Today is a day I would describe as quiet. I took the best nap I’ve taken since I was in college. I slept for 2 AND A HALF HOURS. It was seriously magical. There are no Sunday scaries here. There’s nothing better than a windows open, nowhere to be type of nap. I know I’ve […]

Day 26 – Relaxed
Today is officially the first day of spring break! And, in true midwest fashion, it is snowing. However, I am not going to let that ruin my day. In other news, I slept for 12 hours last night. My body must’ve realllllly needed the rest. I slept in this morning, got Starbucks, went to the […]

Day 25 – Insanity
My word of the day is insanity. First of all, it was the last day before spring break so, naturally, my class was a little bit insane. Not in a bad way! They just had tons of energy and we truly had a very fun (but crazy) day. Another reason my word is insanity is […]

Day 24 – Loved
I feel kind of weird typing this. But I’m going to do it anyway. My boyfriend’s name is Wylie. We’ve been together for almost 4 years. We met in college and moved to Illinois after we graduated. I’m very thankful for him and I’m thankful for the little reminders why. Wylie works from home because […]

Day 23 – Cheerful
This morning, I was looking around my classroom and realized that I forgot to do one of my favorite things when the seasons change. I have a special bookshelf in my classroom that houses my favorite picture books and I always switch the books out depending on the season. The kids love reading these books. […]

Day 22 – Frazzled
I woke up 30 minutes late today. I still made it to work on time but this is one of my least favorite ways to start the day. I felt frazzled ALL DAY LONG. I didn’t have enough time to do my hair, I rushed to get dressed, and I didn’t get a chance to […]
