Welcome to Day 1 of the 20 Days of Me Series! I thought you might like a peek at the wizard behind the curtain… I googled around for some fun “about me” questions and settled on these 20 from a variety of sources. I can’t just take someone else’s list and follow it exactly –…
It has been 10 months since I started writing here at Behind Every Day and I have published 65 posts since then. As I near the end of the calendar year, my mind turns to year-in-review mode and I thought it might be fun to look back and see which 5 of the 65 were…
So here we are again, capturing another day in the life. In some ways it seems like every day is like every other day. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut. For today’s Day in the Life, Ali Edwards suggested the theme of Gratitude. Appropriately seasonal for a November capture, even if it is…
Ali Edwards has announced the final Day in the Life date for 2018. Mark your calendars now for Tuesday, November 27. Set an alarm! Put a reminder in your phone! Can’t remember what the Day in the Life project is all about? Go here for a refresher… What is Day in the Life? …
Yesterday was the last day of school. To say I’m tired would be an understatement. The school year is a marathon but the last month usually feels like a sprint. As a mom, I’ve always been tired by the end of school and ready for a break. As a teacher, multiply that by at least…
Happy Mother’s Day! We made it to Sunday. I’m telling you – a week is a long time! But I made it. Ready to see what Day 7 of Week in the Life looked like for me? I woke up at 6:15 but decided it was much too early to wake up. Went back to…
Hello Saturday! Nice to see you! Make my coffee then come back upstairs to watch Biblioburro. I’m writing a post about it and I’ve been meaning to finish watching the documentary but haven’t had a chance. It’s in Spanish with subtitles so I can’t multi-task while watching which means finding time (after first remembering to…
Finally Friday! Yay! The kitchen is a wreck. I put Ryan’s dessert in Bella’s lunchbox and forgot the jelly on Ryan’s sandwich. Luckily (for Ryan) I caught both mistakes right away. I’m really hoping the rest of the day won’t follow the same pattern. At school we were able to practice a couple times before…
It’s starting to feel a bit like Groundhog’s Day around here. Good morning everybody! It’s looking a lot like May out there! Tired teachers. Excessive pollen. Endless driving to activities. Tired parents. Dishes. Laundry. Tests. Tired students. Pardon me while I go smash my alarm clock into a million pieces and shred the calendar into…
Welcome to Wednesday. A day that looks a lot like Monday and Tuesday. But since we are doing this project called Week in the Life, we must include all the days of the week. Yesterday felt light on pictures so I’m planning to have more today. We’ll see if I can actually manage that once…
Good morning Vietnam! Yes, I know that has absolutely nothing to do with this post. But it’s one of my favorite lines from the movie (and also I love Robin Williams’ work). And sometimes when I say good morning, inside my head I’m really saying good morning, Vietnam exactly like he did. Go ahead –…
Just another Manic Monday…. Here are the Bangles singing it to get you in the mood. Honestly my Mondays are no more manic than any other week day but I often find myself singing this song on Monday mornings. Ready to see what Day 1 of Week in the Life looked like for me? Wake…
