We love hiking.

Abigail asked me if we could go hiking today.

I hope we can.

Between the Easter Egg hunts.

I love hiking too… so my knee and other health issues have limited that activity and I don't like being limited. I guess it is one of life's lessons in patience.

Isn't she just the most beautiful dog of all time?!? She's neurotic like the rest of the family. She fits right in with her struggles with change and other anxietal behaviors. I love her, and can't wait to get my Kita Sticker. Get yours too on insta at @kita_shiba This dog is insta-cool!

The light she brings. What the voice recognition her when Caroline said the light is shimmering. I think the voice recognition has a sixth sense sometimes. "The black side is Voldemort and the purple and pink side is professor Quirrell," she says. Kid number 4 is on book number 2. I love seeing my kids show their creativity.

I know it makes me look old, but holy heck I've had a long awesome and hard life. I've earned the right to flaunt my beautifully natural grey. And yay, I'm going to turn out like my grandma Dorothy. Almost hitting 20 hours at the hospital with the nephew (who is doing great btw. Had the stone removed by surgery.) I have no idea how to navigate the new hairdo when I don't shower after I've slept on it, so I've been looking like an eccentric all day. Any suggestions for my future lazy hair days or nights of sleeping in a hospital chair?

I've been hanging out with my nephew at the hospital all night. He's a BYU student, but I still love him. Lol I'm really grateful for great nurses and doctors and some good medicine called dolodon that finally got him comfortable. He has a genetic kidney disorder that he swears he will cure in his lifetime. I have no doubt that he will.

It's been a good day. I loved the play on words so much at Starbucks that I gave them a few coins. And fyi my double chocolate chip frappe is Mormon-approved. (And yes I have to make that clarification here, or I'll be getting all kinds of shade-eye from my neighbors and family. 🙄)

450 books done and ready for my classroom's built-in bookshelves, but I might be most excited about the six matching dictionaries that I found for a dollar. #englishteacherprobs My brother asked me today if a classroom library was an expectation for teachers to provide from their own pocket. I was like, "Have you not read a single article about education in the last 100 years?" #teacherswhocare Lucky for me, I've been collecting these books for a lifetime.

So proud of this kid for who he is. AmaZing kid. Oh and he graduated HS today. Woot woot, Chandler!

I was worried about my honeysuckle bush thriving because I trimmed it way back, but we've had a lot of nourishing rain. I also placed this hummingbird feeder to make it up to my birds that they won't have any honeysuckle blossoms this season. We have this pregnant hummingbird that flies from the top of my front-yard tree to the the feeder and back every sunrise and sunset. My kids make fun of me because I love to sit on my couch and watch it through the window. #ilovebirds #nature #gardening "may my heart always be open to little birds who are the secrets of living" e.e. cummings

A day at the 4th-grade opera. It was fun to see Abigail in her workplace. It was also hilarious to see how Max had gotten ready. I'm pretty impressed with the 4th graders at Northridge who wrote all the lyrics and songs for their Opera. And Caroline was the cutest tourist, I have to say. As a working mom I'm always extra grateful when I have the chance to see my kids doing their thing.

Classroom library in the works. "Yay, you got college done" they say! "You can rest all sunmer." Ha. This project alone is going on 8 hours, and look how much I have left!!! Perfectionism is forever my worst enemy. Thanks to LG for the four-year-old embosser that, just like me, has been waiting for this very moment to fulfill its purpose. #teachersfollowteachers #teachersofutah #teachersofinstagram

Ready to tell a few teachers one last "thank you!" After following so many teachers on Instagram, I've learned that the handwritten card is the most important part. It really is the thought that counts.

Three-year-old pre-school ✔️ I will forever be grateful to Miss Lisa, Miss Patty, Miss Jessica, and Miss Daniella for taking such good care of Maximus at Timpanogos Weewolves. It's too bad that Alpine School District doesn't see the value in offering an affordable full-day school option for pre-school kids with working parents and is cutting this program next year. This has been the best year for Max because in the small neighborhood environment surrounded with high-school kids that he knew, he felt safe, made friends, and learned a ton.

When it's Friday and one ponders at 8am about whether or not they can pull off this hair all day if they just embrace it. The yawn just happened.

When your kids grow up and start spoiling you for mother's day. Not pictured: Dr. Pepper in the mug and the caramel apple Bella got me. Thanks, girls. Love you.

When the Snapchat filter nails it and turns you into your twin brother. @annetteawills try not to be too scared. Lol

I worked with a group of volunteers from UVU today to spiff up this amazing community center of support and love for our LGBTQ friends. Proud to #beanally !! #beanadvocate #bealover #lgbtq @utah.valley.university

The best people in the world call me mom, and although the pressure of that is overwhelming at times so is the joy. Thanks for being my kids and my friends.

Look who I got to meet today in Heber. A best-selling author, Kentucky principal, hilarious dude, and a hero educator: the @gerrybrooksprin How I love him for making me laugh on the daily. What a wonderful way to start my career. And do notice were representing Utah Valley University. Go Wolverines! @utah.valley.university @uvuwomenssuccess @uvustudentlife @uvuenglishandlit @utaheducationnetwork @utahvalleymagazine @uvusoe @all_the_things_classroom @teachersfollowteachers @caffinateandeducate

All day long today, I thought I was doing a remarkable job. I surprised myself at how put-together I was. And then I took off my earrings that I put on at 8 a.m. Yes, two different earrings. 😬🤣

Pulled it out in the hardest semester of my life, but it didn't get me to 3.8 like I'd hoped it would. Still stuck at 3.79. Oh well. Good enough. C's get degrees, and I probably should have settled for some this last semester. Thanks to my wonderful teenagers for helping me at home so much. Love you @sophia.m.au and @bella__gold
