Exhausted. Being a young mom people often ask me "how are you doing?" Well, I am exhausted. I am going to school full time, I am momming full time and I am doing the best I can. While I know I have the luxury of not having to work during this time, it doesn't make it any less exhausting. Especially as we are entering a new phase with our daughter.  Ginny gets all of my attention during the day everyday except Tuesdays and Thursdays (I am in class at Sam Houston State University). At night I study and do homework for 3-4 hours and I NEVER end up in bed before midnight. Lately life is going to bed around 1 am and waking up bright and early to "hot diggity dog mama" around 6 am.  As I mentioned we are getting in to a new phase with Ginny, she is quickly approaching 2 years old. I know everyone talked about the "terrible twos" and I hate to call it that, because I wont lie, I do think she is perfect as most mothers do. However, this week, this w...

Kids. Why are children so intimidating? Today I taught my first interactive read aloud lesson to my kindergarten mentor class (if you haven't been following along, I am a teacher in training). I read through my book and planned all weekend, but when I sat down to start reading, I froze for a moment.

Children are the most honest group of humans on the planet, and I think that is where my fear stemmed from. I knew they would tell me if they hated it. I also kept thinking that everything you do impacts a child, and I just hoped my lesson would make a positive and meaningful impact. Luckily, they didn't hate it. They actually did better than I could have imagined. I tasked them to think about the different topics from the book while we read. After the book we discussed topics, they came up with several more topics within the book than I anticipated, and the students who r...

Busy. I am quick, I think the saying is "slow to anger, quick to love", well that is not me. I am just quick in general. I am quick to feel everything and sometimes I forget to slow down and take it all in. That was actually my new years resolution this year, to slow down and appreciate everything that is front of me. (I honestly think I am doing pretty good at it, and I have noticed it becoming easier to see the silver lining in all situations!) This is such a busy season of life. I am a young mom, a wife and a college student. I feel like I am racing everyday. I am racing to my daughters doctors appointment and play dates, racing to meet my school deadlines, racing to keep my social life and racing to stay on top of basic things like laundry. Today I found out that I was approved to take a portion of my student teaching methods over the summer and I am thrilled. I thought to myself "let the race begin." I cannot wait to earn my degree and my teaching cred...
