this lovely chaos

because settling down is a whole new adventure

Does Your Child Have Special Needs?

August 15, 2015

Still. No. Baby.

Today is the wee one’s official due date.  Since getting up this morning, I have scrubbed and polished the kitchen (what is it about a clean sink and clear countertop that give me so much peace??), laundered our bedding, shaved my legs (with GREAT difficulty), done my hair and make-up, stocked the fridge and pantry, googled ‘arm knitting’ (a new hobby perhaps?), and watched a couple episodes of Brooklyn 9-9 (that show cracks me up!).  My inner productivity junkie is satisfied.  But there is still soooooooooo much day left.

So I thought I’d do some blogging.

Today I’m going to venture into new territory and talk about one of my passions: education.  Even though school doesn’t start until September 8th here, teachers are already getting their classrooms ready and parents are stocking up on back-to-school supplies for their kids.  I love my summers off, but they start to feel pretty long by mid-August and I always looked forward to getting back into my room and setting it up for my next group of learners. Read more

Well hey there! I'm Kelly - a teacher, author, wife, and mama. Also: a highly-sensitive person and wellness junkie, slightly obsessed with stationery supplies and anything to do with organizing. I've had a lot of adventures in my life, but none compare to the wild ride of 'settling down'. Join me here as I share my stories and seek connection with like-minded folks.

Rockin’ my socks for World Down Syndrome Day 🫶 #teachersofinstagram #worlddownsyndromeday #rockyoursocks #seetheability
Learned a few things on my family’s March Break Learned a few things on my family’s March Break trip to Mexico…

1. Turns out children don’t suddenly morph into adventurous foodies just because they deplane in another country. 
2. Finished a novel in a day and then had to resort to audiobooks. Not a horrible thing, but not nearly as satisfying as holding a paperback. (Anyone else? Or is that just a me thing?)
3. Top of my list of favourite self-care habits is journalling. What on earth possessed me to leave home for a week without it???
4. So. Delicious. 
5. I don’t look at other women in their bathing suits and think mean things. What ever gave me the idea that they think mean things about how I look in my bathing suit?

What lessons did you learn from your Spring Break this year? ☀️

Thank you, Mexico! 7 days in your beautiful warmt Thank you, Mexico!

7 days in your beautiful warmth and light were so restorative for my tired bones. 

A lovely March Break with my sweet family, it has been 💕

Hoping all of my teacher friends are returning to the classroom feeling rested, refreshed, and ready to make the final few months of the school year awesome for their students!

I just couldn’t wait 3 more days to share the fi I just couldn’t wait 3 more days to share the final 3 puzzle pieces! Make sure to check out my profile page to see all the pieces together! I’m beyond thrilled with this design by the talented Rachel Ake - she captured the vibe I was hoping for and understood what I meant when I said I was aiming for a ‘Gordon Korman feel’. Launch day is coming soon! 🥳 #firstnovel #middlegradefiction #booklaunch #bookcoverreveal #readersofinstagram #authorsofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #momsofinstagram #gordonkorman @gordonkorman
