Deck the Door with Fall Decor!!
Pumpkins in the cornfields,
Gold among the brown,
Leaves of rust and scarlet
Trembling slowly down;
Birds that travel southward,
Lovely time to play;
Nothing is as pleasant
As an autumn day!
What a breath of fresh air when the month of October rolls around and all we see are beautiful fall colors (kind of) and feel the cool(ish) breeze thru our hair. I love the cinnamon… Read More

Multilingual Minds
I grew up in the midwest; in Iowa. It goes without saying that, especially in the suburbs, I was not in a super diverse environment. Years later I moved to the Southwest.

After taking a culture and dive… Read More

But at the end of the day, there is something out there that will tickle our funny bone. But when did finding things funny begin for us? What formed our unique sense of humor?

What’s in a Name?
I have this friend Katelyn, whom I love. She is seriously great, but when someone debauched her name, she was not a happy camper! (Well…not actually that upset, but she wanted to make a point!) A mutual friend called Katelyn by her last name instead of her first, and she responded with “My name is Katelyn. That’s what my parents named me. If they wanted to make my last name, my first, they would… Read More

Fish Disc Fun
“How I wish
I were a fish!
My day would begin
flapping my fins.
I’d make a commotion
out in the ocean.
It would be cool
to swim in a school.
In the sea,
I’d move so free,
With just one thought:
Don’t get caught!”
Who doesn’t have an old CD that is scratched and no longer plays your favorite songs? Either the little ones thought it was a chew toy or it got thrown around in the… Read More
