Today I

March 12, 2020 Kristy L3 Comments

{Thanks for the inspiration Elisabeth Ellington I haven't used this one in a long time} Today I struggled to get up. My alarm not only went off, which is rare, it went off for a minute before I realized what was happening. Today I listened to The Newsworthy podcast on the way to school. It's… Continue reading Today I

Fake It

March 11, 2020 Kristy L4 Comments

"Fake it 'til you make it" works. Today our school day did not start off well. Like, at all. I won't go into detail, but let me just say there was a pervasive feeling of defeat, sadness, and maybe even anger. The thought of teaching made me sick to my stomach. But as kids started… Continue reading Fake It

Fresh Loaf of Bread

March 10, 2020March 10, 2020 Kristy L1 Comment

I recently read Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga. It was a great read. I love reading about other cultures, and this book puts the reader in the mind of a young Syrian girl trying to fit in America. I have read a lot of great books lately, and one thing I love about… Continue reading Fresh Loaf of Bread

The Time I Gave My Horse a Shot

March 8, 2020 Kristy L4 Comments

Today I went to a retirement party for the trainer/barn owner where I used to keep my horse, Copper. She has been teaching kids (and adults) how to ride for years, and it's been a privilege to be part of that barn and watch those little girls grow up into confident, responsible, and tough riders… Continue reading The Time I Gave My Horse a Shot

An Ode to Saturdays

March 7, 2020 Kristy L1 Comment

Saturdays begin whenever I wake up. Somedays that means 6:30, others it means 8. Saturdays start with a leisurely cup of tea and some toast with butter and honey. And then maybe another cup of tea. Anything goes! Saturdays mean grocery shopping at the Piggly Wiggly with my husband and maybe a stop at Home… Continue reading An Ode to Saturdays

Friday Feelings

March 6, 2020 Kristy L4 Comments

It's Friday. It's FINALLY not raining. And I don't want to go to school today. (Say that in a childish, whiny voice for accuracy). I just want to stay home, cuddle my doggies, read a book, drink tea, go for a walk. I don't want to go listen to teenagers whine about reading Of Mice… Continue reading Friday Feelings

Bacon and Eggs for Dinner

March 5, 2020 Kristy L4 Comments

Breakfast foods are my favorites. Eggs, toast, pancakes, french toast, bacon, you can't forget the bacon. Especially now that my husband makes bacon from scratch. He cures it, smokes it, slices it and packages it. It's so amazingly good. How cool does that look? It's quite a process, but let me tell you, it's the… Continue reading Bacon and Eggs for Dinner

Sleep-Deprived

March 4, 2020 Kristy L3 Comments

We have three dogs. No kids, just three dogs. But dang, these three dogs cost us a lot of money and make me tired. So, so tired. Why you ask? Let me count the ways. Georgie, our 4-year-old Coonhound mix, is scared of storms. Last night we had a storm around 3 am. G was… Continue reading Sleep-Deprived

Plant Love

March 3, 2020 Kristy L12 Comments

I love house plants. I'm one of those crazy people with about 30 house plants and an eye out for more. I have a sweatshirt that says "Crazy Plant Lady" and it's totally accurate. I can barely walk in a store that sells house plants and not buy one. It's almost physically impossible. I keep… Continue reading Plant Love

Funny Emails

March 2, 2020March 2, 2020 Kristy L6 Comments

I wrote this post in 2017, but never posted it for some reason. The best part? This college sophomore still emails me every couple of months to keep me updated on her life. I LOVE it. 🙂 So this year I have a little group of kiddos who dislike their advisory classes and/or hate eating… Continue reading Funny Emails
