I’ve been a teacher for most of my life and have loved the time I have with my students during the school day, as well as my personal time once work ends. I… Continue reading In Pursuit of Fertility

Italy in Three Weeks: Hiking, Climbing, Camping & some typical touristy things too
To my surprise, I fell in love with Italy this summer. I will admit, Italy wasn’t high on my radar as a vacation spot but I am so glad my world traveling boyfriend, Dodo, and I were able to find three weeks to explore this amazing country.

A Year of Aerial Arts
A close friend asked me if I had a blog today and when I said yes, but I hadn’t written a post for quite some time, she said I should be recording my forays into the world of aerial arts. And I agree! So here I go, ironically writing this post almost a year since… Continue reading A Year of Aerial Arts
Aerial Adventures
Prior to leaving Hawaii in 2012, I took an aerial silks class with several girlfriends and we loved it. Our classroom was a park in Hawaii Kai, and the silks we used to learn to climb were rigged in an old, rugged tree. I tried to find classes in Tampa Bay that offered aerial silks… Continue reading Aerial Adventures
Puerto Rico 70.3, My First Half-Ironman
Completing Puerto Rico 70.3 was one of the hardest things I have done and I found it significantly more challenging than running a marathon.

I recently finished a six week long basic wire jewelry class at the Dunedin Fine Arts Center to jump start my creativity again and… Continue reading A Return to Jewelry Making
Southern Fried Half Marathon in the Outer Banks
I signed up to run the Outer Banks marathon sometime last spring, but between my new teaching position, and my running partner becoming injured, I definitely did not put in the miles I needed to run a full. For a hot minute, I pondered running the full just to see what my body (and mind)… Continue reading Southern Fried Half Marathon in the Outer Banks
Setting the Stage
It's hard to believe but our students start the new school year tomorrow! I think my room is finally ready, thanks to the help from my two wonderful paraprofessionals. It's my first year at Foster, and my first time teaching elementary school, so we really had to hustle to get the classroom ready because it… Continue reading Setting the Stage
