Only Temporary
Flashback Friday Despite the fact that it’s summer–officially–and despite the fact that here in North Carolina, we have already had several days this season where the temperature has been so high that the heat index has gone over 100, I am still wearing long sleeves to work. Yesterday, the shirt I wore caused me to… →

The Start of Summer
Flashback Friday Since most of the schools in my area are out for summer break, I sought out a picture from a summer break of the past for this flashback Friday. It didn’t take me long to find one. As soon as I looked up at my shelf of photo albums, I saw this canvas… →

A Night at the Theater
Flashback Friday Today I’m flashing back to June of 2021 when I took this picture: And this screenshot: “Hamilton” had come to Disney+ the summer before and in 2021, I was still obsessed with it. I took the couch picture with “Hamilton” on the tv in the background to send to a fellow teacher who… →

Ladies and Gentlemen…
Flashback Friday Ladies and gentlemen…once again, Katy Perry! I haven’t been to a lot of concerts in my life. Always admired my friends who went to great shows, but somehow I never thought that I could go see great concerts. I did see New Kids on the Block one time on one of their Mix… →

It Hasn’t Gotten Old Yet
Flashback Friday Today I’m going back two years to the day I took this picture: That was the picture I took mere minutes after submitting my very last assignment for grad school. After two long, but felt fast and short, years of big projects and tests, submitting that last assignment felt amazing! It was not… →

Cooking with Grandma
Flashback Friday I was scrolling through the pictures on my phone looking for inspiration for today’s post. “Flashback” doesn’t mean you have to flash WAY back. I came across a picture of a dish that I made a couple years ago. I usually make it once every summer. My grandmother used to make it. Cucumbers… →

A Teaching Reminder
Flashback Friday I wasn’t sure exactly what I was going to reflect on for today. It has been another busy day. I went into our new building today to help set up for an event that’s going on tomorrow. While I was there, another employee that works where I now work came in. We were… →

Egg-cellent Dye Job
Flashback Friday My flashback topic for today came up in my Timehop app after I had decided I’d share about it. Apparently this picture was taken five years ago today. Given that it’s Easter on Sunday, I thought I’d share my grandpa’s special method for dying eggs. He used the ordinary Paas dye kits like… →
