I have realized I’m TERRIBLE at making myself the priority. TERRIBLE. I remember being on a Kairos with Borgia, and someone was talking about the quote by Gale Sayers, “God is first, others are second, and I am third.” And […]
Motherhood
So I woke up yesterday morning in shock, as did most of the world probably. Once again, we have an election where the candidate who has won the popular vote didn’t win the electoral college vote, and therefore, isn’t president. […]
It’s only 5:25 p.m. but each kid made a huge milestone before 3 p.m. today! Before I left for work, Liam said, “Mama” when I picked him up…I’m not sure that he really meant anything by it. It may have […]

I can’t believe that I am ending my fourteenth year in the world of education this year. It’s just crazy to me that I have been in the classroom that long already. I remember hearing about people at Borgia who […]
So I have never been a fan of Valentine’s Day. As someone who never had a serious relationship until I started dating Mark, Valentine’s Day was always a day that did more to remind me how after 27 years of […]
