Healthy Changes

By -


It can be so hard to make healthy changes. Recently, I started packing a salad to bring for lunch every day. For some reason, the novelty of cramming my salad into a Mason jar has kept me more motivated than just filling a bowl with salad. Now if I could manage to avoid the plentiful chocolate at home and work!
Being healthy is about getting more active, too. I keep trying to get myself on my elliptical or to join in with "fitness challenges" I hear about from my friends. That part isn't going as well. Being on the elliptical for more than about 20 minutes complete taxes my mental stamina... it's just boring. Even WITH the incentive of watching a favorite new show on Netflix! "Fab Ab" month? Yeah, that lasted about 4 days. 

I watch on Twitter as all my friends post their #RunTeacherRun tweets... and I know I should be moving more. One of these days I'll find something that keeps me going. For now, I'm just suffering from end of winter blahs.

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold!

There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn’t always tell the truth. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t entirely the truth. Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter. The Only and Only Ivan , The
