May 11, 2020May 8, 2020 / Maria Bostian / Leave a comment

Yesterday was Mother's Day, a time for honoring mothers (and maternal figures) for all that they have done and still do for us: bandaging boo-boos, making our favorite dessert, holding us when we are sad, etc. So, today, I'd like to introduce my mom (Ms. Jean) to you and give her a "shout out" for … Continue reading Marvelous Monday in Honor of Mom

Find Out Friday – Montessori Teacher, Sherry Nobles

Hey there, friends! On Tuesday we took an imaginary journey/trip with our families. Did you create that packing list? Did you talk about how you'd get there or what you'd do?

Like always, I was perusing Pinterest and found this picture below. It hit me hard. Many of us, myself included, have been to quick lately to list all the many things that COVID-19 have cost us this spring. (Trust me, I've been sitting on a big one!)

Tuesday Writing Prompt – Take An Imaginary Trip

May 5, 2020May 1, 2020 / Maria Bostian / Leave a comment

Hey friends! I bet some of you are missing camping trips, long beach weekends, Spring Break, festivals, park openings, etc. For me, one of the hardest things about staying close to home meant the loss of a spring trip to New Orleans to the French Quarter (food & music) Festival. Even though we can't be … Continue reading Tuesday Writing Prompt – Take An Imaginary Trip
