January 20, 2022 07:00 - 13 minutes - 9.25 MB

After taking time off from the blog, I had pre-written content and pre-recorded shows. So I could really take a step back and take a break. When I started my time off, I had really big plans. I do not lack ambition that is for sure. The week of Christmas, I took off from all my clients. This would actually give me time off. One thing I know about myself is that I will run myself into the ground before I stop. But the bottom line, I was really tired and I needed to take a break. My husband f...

January 13, 2022 07:00 - 14 minutes - 10.1 MB

Grading. This is the dreaded task. You know the kind of task you need to psyche yourself up for days ahead of time. And grading for 4 kids multiplies this feeling by 4.
