Last week, I filled in for one of our trainers and flew to LA to help with a FlipGrid training. I’ve had the chance to use FlipGrid with JT’s class at school, and I have a pod and a shirt… so it felt like a good opportunity to log some training hours! Plus, it’s myContinue reading “FlipGrid in LA”

Bike the Bridge
Haley has gymnastics for two hours twice a week, and sometimes I stay and work and watch, and other times I hit up Costco, and last week it was 76 degrees and JT stayed home with friends and I was itching to get out and ride! So I planned to bike a trail nearby, andContinue reading “Bike the Bridge”
A Conference in San Diego
This trip was for Jim’s work! Jim attends an annual conference that was in San Diego this year, and a lot of the wives go along on this trip. He asked me maybe a year ago if I would join him on this one, and of course I said yes. It was five whole daysContinue reading “A Conference in San Diego”
More Minecraft
My work recently has revolved quite a bit around Minecraft. I’m enjoying learning more. I’m starting to see lessons for Minecraft pop up in the world around me, and that’s a good thing because I’ll be writing lessons (and managing other writers and world builders) for the next few months… the company I work forContinue reading “More Minecraft”
Day Trip to Reno
I had a client meeting in Reno on Monday, so I flew down in the morning and back in the evening. Our senior manager Jenn met me there, and we did a little team planning as well. Our first task was to find a smoke-free Starbucks. As a Washington girl, this seemed simple. It wasContinue reading “Day Trip to Reno”
86 extra hours
That’s how many overtime hours I accrued in October! It was a busy month. The company I work for launched a new partnership with another company, and I’m in charge of all that entails: training, content, and resources. The owner of the other company was in Seattle for two weeks as part of the ventureContinue reading “86 extra hours”
Fall Favorite Things
My friend Toni threw a Fall Favorite Things party… and it was so fun! We each brought six items that we loved about fall, like candles, coffee cups, nail polish, scarves, etc. Then we snacked and ate dinner and drank Moscow Mules and laughed and got to take home six new things from everyone else’sContinue reading “Fall Favorite Things”
18,000 Miles
That’s right – in eight days, I traveled 18,000 miles for work! It was a whirlwind of trips to Baltimore, Los Angeles, and Fort Lauderdale to visit school leaders in each system. I help them with their strategic plans to implement professional learning experiences for their teachers for the school year. Then I assign ourContinue reading “18,000 Miles”
A new piercing
I’ve wanted to get my nose pierced for…. maybe twenty years. Seriously. This past Mother’s Day, Jim gave me a gift certificate to get it done and even booked me an appointment at a nice place in Bellevue (Deep Roots). Then we found out that I wasn’t supposed to swim for 4-6 weeks after piercing…Continue reading “A new piercing”
Lake Meridian Tri 2018
I was so excited to finish the Lake Meridian triathlon 14 minutes ahead of my finish time from last year! I had a great race overall – even if my timing chip came off in my wetsuit. 😦 Fortunately Jim came with me and did an awesome job timing me during each leg, and heContinue reading “Lake Meridian Tri 2018”
