Becoming a Teacher via Alternate Certification

I. am. 30. Wow! I feel like I’ve been 30 for way longer than a few days…probably because most of my friends are older than me, so I’d gotten used to saying, “Well I’m basically 30!” for the past 2 years and some change. But, I’m finally here! It’s always been a birthday I looked …

Ok, Covid 19, the first month of quarantine was real cute but month 2 has me struggling within the confinements of my home. There’s only so many times I can deep clean our kitchen before I go absolutely insane! If you’re like me and have felt a little dry in the creativity department, take a …
