Reading Assignments
Getting back on track with my self-assigned required reading. Turns out, if I get in 1000words in the morning, I don’t feel obligated to sit and stare at a blank screen all day. And then it’s easier to put down my phone, settle into the big comfy chair with my paperbacks and a pen. So,…

Writing Goals
I spent most of my day today making ancient Egypt themed cupcakes for my almost-nine-year-old birthday boy, who has recently taken an increased interest in Social Studies. (I think it’s the myths.)
