Zombie Ants*
I love nature documentaries and videos. I realize that this probably makes me a giant nerd, but I can’t help it. I could sit want watch Planet Earth all day long, then spend the evening curled up watching National Geographic documentaries all night. I find them incredibly interesting, and wonderfully relaxing. So, when I saw that my friend Jae had posted a short nature clip on her Facebook the other day, I clicked it immediately… and I wasn’t disappointed. You see, there are two types of documentaries that I love most of all: oceans and bugs. I love documentaries about the ocean and its inhabitants because it’s so… mysterious. There…

Marvelous March*
I have always loved the month of March. Even though the temperatures are often still chilly, it brings the first signs of spring and signals the end of winter. I’ve also always loved the old folklore for March– if it comes in like a lion, it will go out like a lamb, and vice versa.

The past few days have been so busy I could barely stay on top of everything. Work has finally picked…

Six Months + Six Dresses (#1)
Hi lovelies! I’ve been waiting allllll week to write today’s post! (And then I went out with Dee tonight and left myself no time to write it. ha) Confession: I don’t own very many dresses. If I had an occasion where I needed to dress up or look extra nice, I currently have about two dress options to choose from. Seriously. For some reason I’ve always been afraid to wear dresses. I think that part of it comes from the fact that there are certain things I avoid when wearing dresses… for example, I prefer dresses that have capped or long sleeves, and my ideal length reaches just above my…

It’s Just Not For Me*
Today I decided that I will never, ever be an intermediate teacher. (Probably.) I spent several weeks in a grade 7 classroom during my long-term placement in teacher’s college, and after I spent most of those several weeks winning them over, it wasn’t so bad. I even thought for a minute that maybe I could teach grade 7 or 8 in a good school. …then I went back to high school. I am a high school teacher, through and through. I have nothing against 12 and 13 years olds–I know several very awesome kids at that age. I just don’t like 29 of them at one time. In one room.…
