Teaching and playing music is my passion and my life. I began my love of music early on. My mom plays violin and piano, and my dad plays piano, and used to play trumpet. I remember many nights of falling asleep to my dad playing piano and I went to many many orchestra concerts of… Continue reading Teaching, Crafting and Relaxing!

.My sister @the_eelizaa is going to be fasting all social media platforms for a month and I have decided that I am going to be joining her. ❤️ She has always looked up to me as her big sis, but tonight I am looking up to her and feeling so inspired and proud! While I’m a little nervous about the time away, I am so excited to be more intentional with my time, talents, and relationships. .

I kept looking at it for about a week to make sure I liked it and than I decided to purchase it! Had I measured the area? Did I really understand how big the measurements were for the rug? 🤦🏼‍♀️NOPE, not at all. I just knew I wanted a rug and I had found the one I wanted... But good news is the rug fits! Side Note: my living room is a mess😆

(honestly I still don’t some days)... I’m an orchestra teacher and I never thought I’d be teaching reading. I was a little upset in the beginning, but the fact that I would be teaching this class wasn’t going away, so I jumped on board and began planning. 
Sometimes in life things won’t go your way and you can either pout and be upset, or you can put your “big girl panties” on and deal with it! One really great thing about teaching reading is that I get a time carved out everyday for myself to read a good book and I’ve been reading so much more! Current read: Uninvited by @lysaterkeurst
