    Evolution of Dance*

    Ok, somehow I have apparently lived in a box for my entire life and have missed out on viewing this AMAZING video. Hot Rod sent it to me today and my life has been changed forever… If you are like me and have never seen it, be prepared to fall in love. Shop Girl*

    The Purple Parka Pandemic*

    If you have an awesome purple winter jacket, then I apologize in advance for what I am about to write. I am not prejudiced against purple jackets, I promise. It’s really also not a pandemic, I just liked the alliteration. haha! I ride the bus. A lot. It’s how I get from A to B. And as I’ve been riding the bus over the past several weeks I have noticed something peculiar… for some unknown reason (maybe I missed the memo) there seems to be an influx of purple winter jackets–purple parkas, if you will (I love alliteration!). Now let me be clear–I have nothing against the colour purple. It…

    I just spent the last several hours getting our Christmas letters ready to mail.. and I am SO excited to send them! My back is killing me and my hand is sore from writing addresses, but I love the letter we’ve written and I enjoy this year’s picture oh, so much more than last year’s.

I’m so glad that we started this tradition last year, and hope you’ll love this year’s letter just as much!! Shop Girl*

I knew teacher’s college was going to be busy, but nothing prepared me for the volume of coursework and in-class hours. Last week my days were so full I hardly had time to eat, let alone clean, cook, do laundry, or anything else. Thankfully the Hubster is WONDERFUL and has been picking up my slack.

    Still Alive*

    Every bone in my body is completely and utterly exhausted. It has been, by far, the busiest two weeks of the entire year thus far. Let’s recap: I am now officially on a much, much needed Christmas break. Somehow I “lucked” out and 75% of my assignment due dates fell in the last two weeks. I had presentations, lesson plans, essays and midterms all due. I handed my last three assignments this afternoon after sleeping only 2.5 hours last night…I was up until 4:30am, and up again at 7am trying to get everything done. I feel like my whole body has been run over with a truck, and I am…
