Hi! Whew, last week was a whirlwind. Going back to work is always crazy, but this year I’m moving more slowly and tire more easily. I finally feel like I’m back in a routine, but last week felt exhausting. One of the PE teachers found me a giant yoga ball, and I’ve been using that at my desk and alternating between the ball and the chair. My back just aches sitting at the computer, and I’m most comfortable when I’m…

It seems most women who blog write about the glamorous stuff: made-from-scratch meals, pics when they’re all dolled up with friends, and cute babies with headbands. I’m guilty of writing 98% of posts about my weekends, which involve a lot of fun and games. I find it really fascinating to read day-in-the-life posts about others though, especially posts from people who have to get up and go to an office everyday. I don’t think I’ve ever written one in the…
How’s it going out there? I’m back in the swing of things over here. The initial craziness of work has died down as the kids get into a routine with their teachers. I know I need to appreciate a few relatively quiet weeks before teachers start sending referrals my way. I’m slowly getting back into waking up early to go to the gym. Matt has gone with me a few mornings, and it makes it one million times easier to…
Another lovely weekend in the books. I feel like I’ve been saying that a lot lately! Matt and I have gotten into a routine on Fridays of making a pizza and opening a bottle of wine. This week was a wonderful bottle from our trip to Mendoza. Our pizzas are usually the same – olives, sheep’s manchego, spicy chicken sausage, and arugula salad on top. Saturday, I tried my first Crossfit class! I liked it a lot because it was…
It’s awesome how anti-bullying campaigns are sweeping through schools these days! Internet bullying is out of control though, and I can only hope that the generation that’s being hit hard with the anti-bullying messages in schools today will change the internets tomorrow. This video was shared at my school and I wanted to pass it along because I love this man! Enjoy!…
This weekend my school had a huge fundraiser – a silent auction at the sky bar of the W Hotel. Fancy! The parents association really goes all out for this event, and I was pretty excited to get to attend. We had icy conditions on Saturday, but the view of Dallas was still spectacular from from the 33rd floor. I enjoyed a Manhattan while I checked out all of the silent auction items. Most things were out of my price…
Current obsession edition: 1. I go through a chip and hummus combo every few weeks – right now it’s these pumpkin crisps with jalapeño and cilantro Hope Hummus. 2. I got a new iPod after my nano from college stopped keeping a charge. It was a tiny one that couldn’t hold all of my songs at once. I put a bunch of old country music on the new one and I’m enjoying driving around with the windows, down pretending…
“I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Influence Central for Ame & Lulu. I received product samples to facilitate my review.” Since staring my new job, I’ve been going to a few 6 am classes each week. I don’t mind getting up as much as I mind showering at the gym. But, I’m starting to get used to it, and I bought double of some of my products so that I can keep them packed. However, I…
I’m about 4 weeks into work and I’m finally starting to breathe. It’s been both wonderful and challenging to create my role – I have so much flexibility yet there are so many questions and things to figure out along the way. I’m really trying to get some organizational systems in place to make my job easier down the road. Simple things like trying to figure out how I want to organize my spreadsheets of students and if I want…
