Who is Saint Nicholas? The Catholics have this cool story about a man named Bishop Nicholas who was kind and generous. He discovered that a town many days away from him was filled with people who were starving. Even the children were starving. So he had his people gather all the food they could. They…
The scene where the girls give their mother, Marmee her Christmas gifts is a classic. I remember one Christmas when I went to church with Grandma and Grandpa. The minister asked all these questions about giving to this charity and to that charity, serving in the armed forces, and a bunch of other volunteering…
I wanted to apologize to you for something…too much advice. As I reread some of my previous posts, I realize that I keep giving you so much advice. Don’t you hate it when people keep giving you advice you haven’t asked for?! Ugh! Let’s face it, you are going to do what you think is…
I am doing absolutely nothing today! I’m exhausted. Between prepping the house for your brother and his visit and doing report cards, awards and teaching – I’m just done. I’m going to stay in comfortable mismatched clothes all day. I may decorate the house for the holidays, BUT only until I get tired of doing…
Yup! It’s another night out with my favorite gal pal. I’ve referred to her as Faith, previously. We worked together for many years. She works at a school close to mine. We get together when we can. Tonight, she’s treating me out for dinner and then I’m taking her back to see my new house….

SOMEONE used to like Miley Cyrus. Maybe not so much anymore. But, I do like her rendition of this song. Since Christmas trees seem to be on my mind today, it seems appropriate. Plus, I hear this song everyday! One of my students plays it over and over whenever we have 5 minutes of free…
My drama club students are getting SO excited about their plays. Today, the set design crew were adding detail to the Christmas trees they are painting for our school’s choir performance. I had them watch this video to learn how to add all those extra details that make a tree really look authentic. I know…
The funniest thing happened to me today. I was in the bathroom thinking about what my next move is: if I go back to school to get a master’s degree, what should I study? Should I go into psychology and be ready to help my two sweet sisters? Or should I learn informational technology and…
I’m not sure how you might be leaning spiritually, so I’m covering all my bases. I hope you are lifted up in whatever faith brings you peace and comfort. I was trying to do this post on Sunday night but, the candles were broken in the car on the way home. Advent is a month…
