    Quick training update

    Everything has been going AMAZING with my training. I got to meet my coach Becki Spellman when she was in town to race the 3m Half Marathon a few weeks ago, and hang out with all my Oiselle Volee #LoneStarBirds! It was such a fun weekend full of one of my favorite things – running. […]

    I can’t believe I’m really training!

    I can’t believe I’m really training!

    Wow. I’m finally feeling a little bit official as a runner. After 2 years of consistent running, many races, trying to reach PRs and signing up for my first marathon, I actually feel honest when I tell people that I’m a runner. Something else that is making me feel more confident in my sport (as […]

    Wildflower Half – My First Time on the Trail!

    On May 7, I took the plunge. My first trail race, and not only that, but my first time running a trail at all! I found the Wildflower Half through Facebook on my quest to add some new races to my schedule this year, and honestly, I signed up because the logo and medal were […]

    Here’s a few more poems from my former students. They are now in 8th grade, and did blackout poems in their ELA classes. Since this time 7th grade they have matured so much, and their poetry shows it.

    Teaching and Loving Poetry

    Teaching and Loving Poetry

    Poetry could arguably be one of the toughest types of writing to delve into and interpret meaning. The figurative language can be overpowering, and sometimes the word choice is antiquated. Even modern-era poems can take a while to interpret. Now, imagine teaching poetry to 7th graders in an urban setting. Most students have never even […]

    10 Thoughts I had while trying out a coconut oil hair mask

    I recently read a post by Priya on Model Behaviors where she mentioned using a coconut oil hair mask. According to her, and other sources, coconut oil is great for your hair as far as strengthening, moisturizing and adding shine.

    Nails. Always.

    Nails. Always.

    Ever since I was a little bitty 5-year-old, I’ve been getting manicures. Call me spoiled if you want, but my grandfather would always take me.

    Podcasts…who would’ve thought

    Podcasts…who would’ve thought

    OK, honest moment, y’all. I love podcasts. I never thought I’d be that type of person, I always thought they were lame and why would anybody want to listen to random people talking about random things, but ever since Serial came out, I’ve been hooked. Over the Christmas break I fell deeper into my podcast […]
