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…

Classroom Pencil Sharpener Review
**Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review. I was gifted a pencil sharpener to use. The opinions are my own. This post contains affiliate links. Being a teacher, especially a math teacher, I know the importance of having a good pencil sharpener in the classroom. Too many times, I’ve been supplied “cheap” pencil sharpeners that have the life expectancy of an ant. Well maybe, a little longer than an ant. But, you get my point! The pencil sharpeners that are usually supplied by the school are not the greatest. They don’t last long. They’re noisy. And they have a huge appetite for pencils, gnawing on them until there’s nothing…

I Walked Out of the Classroom…Again (Part 2)
There I was…all excited about a new year! The previous year had gone fairly well, so why not be hopeful? Of course, nothing could be worse than my years of teaching public school! My first six years of teaching will forever be emblazoned in my mind. Not because they were great. Oh no, far from that. They were unremarkable, to say the least. I am sometimes still in disbelief about the experiences that I had. Let me give you a quick synopsis: Year 1: By October of that school year, yes October, the administration was already trying to get me removed from my Teacher Certification program. You read that correctly. …

It’s National Ice Cream Day!! You scream, I’ll scream, We’ll all scream for the ice cream!! Nothing is better than ice cream in the summer. Except homemade ice cream!!! I remember making homemade ice cream as a child. My mother had an ice cream machine. We would add the rock salt and all of our ingredients. And then we would churn, churn, churn! My mother would let us take turns doing so. And then we would wait for our sweet treat to be ready. Those were the days. I want to share with you a more simple way of making ice cream. The recipes I prepared were adapted from a…
