Pumpkin Roundup #4 2018: Dinner
I love when a fruit or vegetable is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. We continue the pumpkin roundup with some great dinner recipes. And there is something for everyone! There is a classic dish of risotto. Burgers lovers and vegans will be satisfied. And lovers of Indian cuisine will have something to be excited about as well. Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Risotto Risotto is a classic Italian dish, and one that is very technical in its preparation. This vegan recipe by Chocolate Covered Katie, adds pumpkin to give it more depth and creaminess. You can even substitute brown rice if preferred. Pumpkin Tomato Basil…

I Walked Out of the Classroom…Again! (Part 3)
Fast forward to year 2 of my return to teaching. I was hopeful that the year would go well. But I had concerns: the coworker who obviously wanted to defile my character and slander my name. I was pretty sure that she had told lies to parents to deter them from enrolling their students in my class. And my other concern was the new administrator. Would she come in and change the dynamics of our work environment? Year 2 started off in much the same way as the previous year. The same teacher that didn’t take too kindly to me, was now my department head! And to make matters worse,…

Pumpkin Roundup #2 2018: Breakfast
It’s time for another pumpkin roundup!! <insert applause and cheers> Today’s roundup is all about breakfast. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, other than dessert. Is dessert a meal of the day? Well, for me it is. Anyways, I love breakfast. My day is not complete without it. It’s that source of fuel that helps me get started on my day. So I definitely wanted to include breakfast in my roundup as I did before. In this roundup, there are breakfast foods that should be pleasing to everyone. I admit that I had to include some pastries. It wouldn’t be a proper roundup without them. So, grab some…

Pumpkin Roundup 2018 #1: Drinks
It is officially fall, which means it is officially pumpkin season. That’s right, time for pumpkin everything. Pumpkin coffee, pumpkin cereal, pumpkin sandwiches, pumpkin pajamas. You name it! It’s been some years since my last pumpkin roundup, so I decided to do another one this year. In my pumpkin roundup, I feature some very pumpkiny recipes. I showcase the recipes over a few week, listing them in different categories. The first category is drinks. Now, I personally, can only consume pumpkin in a quick bread. No way else. But I thought that you all would like to explore pumpkin in all its forms, starting with something to quench your thirst.…

National Love Note Day 💕
Today is National Love Note Day! What better day to express your love to your family and friends?! To those who have supported you and assisted you. To those who have prayed for you and cared for you. Today, I have decided to write a love note to myself. Why not?! I love me! It isn’t something that we consider often, but we should consistently express the love that we have for ourselves. It is by loving ourselves that we become content with ourselves. Content with our flaws, content with our shortcomings. By loving ourselves, we learn to respect ourselves more, and demand that same respect from others. We gain…

Kids Rewards Bingo using Happy Planner Student Planner Pages
My godson loves video games. Loves them! Maybe a little too much. And I would love for him to stop playing them so much. I’ve tried to use the video games as a privilege for doing well in school and at home. But he still tends to get too much screen time. So I was trying to think of a way to reward him for doing good in school and at home, limiting the use of the video games. I was watching a YouTube video where someone was repurposing the planner pages of a Happy Planner Student Planner, and I thought I would be able to do the same and…
