(Which also means that my closets, pantry, and drawers are usually a horrifying mess!) I’m also drawn to anything color-coded or involving pretty plastic bins, which I think most teachers can identify with, am… Read More

My most frequently asked question in emails and blog posts is how to start, schedule, and manage an elementary Makerspace.

I hope you take time for some much needed rest and self care today. 💗breathe
right here
in the middle
of it all
breathe
right here
before it all
makes sense.
breathe
right here
before it all
makes sense.
there is a lot
you cannot control,
and this is also true:
the wisdom
you are gathering
from doing what you can do
is gracefully strengthening you.
you are further along
than you think
you are not who you
used to be and
that is a beautiful thing
you are redefining
what it means
to give your all.
you are cultivating
new rhythms of rest.
you are learning to love deeply.
you are learning to love fully,
you are letting fiery goodness
fill your bones.
you are learning to let go
of age-old fears
you are learning to worry less
about who you need to impress
you are letting love challenge
old ways of thinking.
you are doing the work.
and it matters.
