Day 3 – Music It’s time for another entry in the 20 Days of Me series. The “rules” for day 3 are to put my iPod (or MP3 player in this case) on shuffle and list the first 10 songs that come up. Are you ready? My MP3 is pretty much always set on…
Time again for another Day in the Life of Me capture! As always, I follow Ali Edwards’ schedule and once again I also decided to follow her prompt of Morning, Afternoon, and Evening. Initially this idea of breaking the day down into sections didn’t appeal to me but then as I thought more about it…
It’s Day 2 of the 20 Days of Me series and today is all about animals! Specifically, I am supposed to post a picture of my animals. But first – did you miss Day 1? Click here to read Day 1 – 5 Fun Facts About Me. All caught up now? Okay then let’s…
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…
