Last year when I started #BLOG365 I was hunkered down in the midst of a hurricane. Blog post here. Almost a year to the day, I am hunkered down for another hurricane. In another state. Hours from the coast. Hurricanes follow me! I've been in a bit of a hurricane the last few months. A … Continue reading Hurricanes – #BLOG365 Day 276 #hurricaneharvey #hurricanehermine

Be Good to Yourself – #BLOG365 Day 275
I can't remember the last time I stayed home all day on a Saturday. It must have been over a year ago when I had a flare-up with my knee and had no choice but to put my feet up. Today I slept in (well, as much as you can sleep in with a rambunctious … Continue reading Be Good to Yourself – #BLOG365 Day 275
Uncorking the Bottle – #BLOG365 Day 274
Yesterday morning I woke up and blogged after a brief hiatus. Who knew that I would be still writing at 1am this morning? I wrote all day long at work and at home, working on a handful of projects and a proposal for Teach to Lead. It was kind of like I uncorked the … Continue reading Uncorking the Bottle – #BLOG365 Day 274
I Could Make an Excuse, But… – #BLOG365 Day 273
Yeah, I know. I haven't blogged in awhile. Well, not consistently. I could make a million excuses about why. I kind of feel like a young student, crafting excuses about why I haven't done an assignment or skipped school. I even feel a little guilty about it. When I started #BLOG365 last September, I had … Continue reading I Could Make an Excuse, But… – #BLOG365 Day 273
#TeamChamomile – #BLOG365 Day 272
On Monday I moved 900 miles. On Tuesday I started a new job. On Thursday I flew to ASCD's L2L conference. Busy week, to say the least. Tonight, though, I am listening to my body and resting. It doesn't hurt that my room has a queen sized bed and WiFi, both things I am without … Continue reading #TeamChamomile – #BLOG365 Day 272
Twizzlers Kind of Day – #BLOG365 Day 270
It's been one of those days again... Let's just say the Twizzlers I bought to snack on during our 900 mile ride were opened and eaten on the way home from the store. 'Nuff said...
It’s Been a Long Day – #BLOG365 Day 269 @TOPTeachGermany #TOPStudyTour
It's been a long day. But, I got a ton accomplished. Now that I finally have a moment to sit at the end of the day, I am reminiscing about my first evening in Germany and our TOP Study Tour visit to Krenzers Apple Wine Press. We had the most wonderful tour of the apple … Continue reading It’s Been a Long Day – #BLOG365 Day 269 @TOPTeachGermany #TOPStudyTour
Making a List, Checking It Twice – #BLOG365 Day 268
Operation Move 900 Miles is in effect in our home. We have a long to-do list, organized by day and topic. I have spread out the tasks over days, budgeted time in for yoga and relaxing and cat cuddling. I have made time to catch up on TV shows left on my DVR before we … Continue reading Making a List, Checking It Twice – #BLOG365 Day 268
Museum Monday: The Power of Objects to Tell Stories – #BLOG365 Day 267 #TOPStudyTour @TOPTeachGermany
While at Neungamme Concentration Camp we heard an amazing story of the power of an object to tie individuals together and transcend cultures. One object held a narrative of the bravery in a time of incredible horror. Our guide shared the story of Fritz Bringmann, a prisoner in Neuengamme arrested for high treason. He was caught … Continue reading Museum Monday: The Power of Objects to Tell Stories – #BLOG365 Day 267 #TOPStudyTour @TOPTeachGermany
Do You Know What a Trabi Is? – #BLOG365 Day 266 #TOPStudyTour @TOPTeachGermany
On day one of our Transatlantic Outreach Program #TOPStudyTour we were hit with the Trabi during a visit to the Point Alpha Memorial. I have to admit, I didn't know the Trabi by name when I first saw it. Sure, I had seen them in news footage. But, I didn't know anything about them. So, … Continue reading Do You Know What a Trabi Is? – #BLOG365 Day 266 #TOPStudyTour @TOPTeachGermany
