Today was a completely glorious day! I slept in--LATE--which seems to be my habit ever since returning from the U.S. Then I went to the gym which was followed by a lot of reading. When Mr. Sneaker got home from playing tennis we had a nice lunch then Read More...

I feel like nothing super interesting has been going on lately. I chill. I read. I write. Throw in a little cooking and cleaning. That's it! Today I finished the book Bed of Roses, which was okay, but not great. I liked the story, but I found myself skimming Read More...

Before moving back to the states, my friend Jill gave me a stack of books to read and I am furiously making progress. I always read a lot--even during the school year--but the nature of my reading content is pretty different now than it is when I am reading Read More...

In my own life I do a lot to stay healthy like exercising, eating well, drinking lots of water, and getting enough sleep (well at least trying to!) (This week I have been having trouble sleeping due to jetlag, but yesterday I enjoyed a 4 hour nap and Read More...

As teachers, we all agree that Post-Its rock. Pretty much any form of cutsie paper products, office supplies, or organizational tools have us at hello. When I was in the US I actually stocked up on Post-its (they were on sale at Office Depot in Cali) Read More...

None of my recent posts have been about teaching, but I want to get back to it! I have noticed several new followers who are teachers/student teachers (welcome friends!) so I feel the need to do some more education focused posts to infuse a little more Read More...

I successfully made it through my first solo international flight! I actually slept through almost the entire long part from DC to Frankfurt. I took a sleeping pill when I boarded and the boarding process for international flights takes so long that by Read More...

Tonight I am flying back to Germany and I can't wait to see Mr. Sneaker and my friend Jilly! Hopefully I will sleep through most of the flight so it will go by quickly. This will be my first time ever flying alone internationally and I am not super pumped Read More...
