I Have Talented Kids!

 The children’s organization within my local  church had a talent show. It was fun to see all the little people and their talents. E demonstrated Jiu Jitsu and Z danced.  I was a part of E’s demo so I didn’t take a video, but later on he used his sparing dummy for a wonderful waltz. Enjoy all the dancing. 

Cozy

Just like I need a sanctuary at work, home is another one of my sanctuaries. As winter has snuck in, I want to be warm and cozy. I also find more and more reasons not to leave my house once I’m home from work. This especially is the case when I change into pajamas, which is happening earlier and earlier seeing it is dark at five o’clock! 

It also has happened earlier now that I own these:

 Thank heavens for thrifting and $3.50 Homer Simpson pants. 

Sanctuary

Sanctuary: a place of refuge or safety 

 Work can be chaotic. My students seem more and more angry and mean as time progresses. Often, during lunch or during my prep, I need a quiet break from that chaos. I have purposely made my office into a sanctuary. 

What place is your sanctuary?

Strong

 Weight lifting makes me feel strong. I can lift more than I ever have in my PE class. Wearing my Ilona Maher also makes me feel strong like a beast!!!

Thankful Turkeys

 Here is my Thanksgiving spread. I recently have been buying cheap holiday tablecloths and decorating our coffee table. 

I also bought cute little turkeys at Hobby Lobby a few weeks back. I had a grand idea of gluing clothespins to them to make a thankful turkey for each of us. It took me a few weeks to get the gumption and get out the hot glue gun and do the work. 

I think they turned out splendidly. Last night we gathered in our living room and cut feathers out of pretty scrapbook paper and wrote at least 3 things we are thankful for. 

What are you thankful for?
