On my trail run this weekend and lately I stop a little more and enjoy the moment. I am always on the move telling myself to slow down and appreciate the moment more now. Like to make cairns with the rocks, leave a little something behind that can be left behind for someone to add on or knock down!

On this teacher appreciation week I wish I could walk down the halls and give you all a hug and tell you personally how I appreciate you!! So took a mid-day nature walk behind my house and pretended it was the hallways, I can't sit still anyway. Took these pics to share the beauty I see in all of you:)
Thank you for a great year ...and welcoming me into the Brentwood family.
Tania :)

I'm currently rewatching Parks and Rec for my brain dump time and loving every minute. I think almost all teachers are little Leslie Knope-ish!

Tania has inspired me to keep up my yoga practice, which went by the wayside during the first few weeks of quarantine. Thank you, Tania! I've been enjoying walking over to Mueller Lake from my house and doing yoga under the trees!

I've been exploring the state parks. I've been to Mother Neff State Park and Colorado Bend State Park. Enchanted Rock (one of my favorites) is next. A good way to get away and be with nature during quarantine.

Daily walks and skateboarding through our neighborhood with my favorite people...best part of my weekend!

I didn't have a place at home where I could sit and work every day, especially away from distractions. So I set up an old laptop, erasable pens, planner, tested out several chairs and rearranged some plants. Once I was set up, I felt a sense of control over my new work environment and my days have been a bit more pleasant. What have you found brings you motivation working at home?

I love mystical creatures and gardens. I made a little fairy garden in my garden a couple of months ago and have been adding to it. The families that walk by our house are always stopping to take a look. It brings smiles to faces of the children and that really makes me happy!

I have no room in our apartment to have a special place, but I do have special items that my child gives to me that change daily. Gotta cherish his innocence. 🤗

Adam and I have become foster parents again.  We picked up this sweet 6 week old, 5 pound baby boy from the NICU last week.  We are adjusting to our work from home-with a newborn-during a pandemic-life, but so lucky we get to love on this sweet guy as long as he is with us.  Even Jax, our 100 pound Golden approves!
