Teaching Kids w/ Technology

I get a surprising amount of weird questions or ridicule simply because I have a blog. People act like it's a ridiculous thing or that it's silly or that I'm a part of something that not a lot of people do. Once you start to investigate and read blogs and be a part of the blogging community, you find that is far from the truth. Our culture and world as a whole are continuously moving further and further toward greater and more intricate technologies in all aspects of our lives. You can have whatever opinion you want about the growing use of technology, but the fact is, if you're going to participate in society in the future, you're going to have to be able to use these technologies - if for no other reason than to keep up with your children, grandchildren or students. I watched one of these videos in class last semester and I found the other on LifeChurch.tv. Check them out for yourself!

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!)

Stitch Fix: July 2015

This was probably my absolute favorite Stitch Fix box so far!! Unfortunately, when I scheduled it, I didn't anticipate the amount of money I would have to spend on back to school stuff for Isis. I took her shopping for new Kindergarten clothes & that kinda blew my budget in terms of purchasing clothes for myself. So I had to get super specific about what I wanted to keep & what I didn't....which STUNK SO BAD because this was the first time I wanted to keep all 5 items!!!!! Such a bummer. Oh well, here's the breakdown... First of all, I had asked specifically for work pants that I could wear as a teacher that weren't jeans, but were super comfortable. I also asked for a cardigan & a jacket that I could wear into the fall. My stylist, Amy, clearly checked out my Pinterest board & read my requests because she picked things that looked exactly like me. I absolutely loved this jacket.
