I love some good low-ish effort, high reward projects. The ones that don’t take a ton of time, effort, or resources… but that make a big impact. I’ve been chipping away at our list of home projects and must say, I’m quite pleased with the results. (And with myself. For doing anything beyond the bare minimum lately. It’s still a pandemic, people!). Not only have these projects helped our home…

DIY Uplifting Room Spray
May is Teacher Appreciation Month… and so I found myself staying up past my bedtime Monday night, filling twelve small bottles with a semi-magic potion for our kids’ preschool teachers, as one does. I thought I’d share the how-to for this DIY uplifting room spray…

November 2016 | Currently

Today: Get Messy Thursdays | Words, Week 5
I don’t have much in the way of actual words to share this week (which… let’s be honest… you’re likely 900% okay with this). I stuck to basic materials (scissors, paper, magazines, glue and a few pens) and made some equally basic pages. Sometimes basic…

Today: Triple vanilla chai latte.
Drive-thrus are dangerous places. A few years ago, I swore off coffee. Or rather, I tried to swear off coffee, but the siren’s donut’s call lured me back. One morning, I planned to go directly to the office, but decided to sneak a coffee for my commute instead. Just…

Today: My favorite online classes.
I spend a lot of time in schools for work, which often makes me miss… being in school. It also probably explains why I’ve had a cold for six months. I’m pretty sure I always loved being a student. Even in middle school, when I…
