  • Anyone else read two books at once? I keep switching between the two of these. They both started out slower than I wanted, but are starting to pick up. Brave, Not Perfect is about learning to combat your inner perfectionist and focusing on being brave instead. It’s a powerful message that more people need to hear and take to heart, myself included. Everything All At Once is the story of Lottie, whose very famous writer aunt recently passed away, leaving her with 24 letters that includes directions for accomplishing specific tasks. It’s starting to get really good! #bookstagram #booksofinsta #bookstagrammer #bookstagramit #bravenotperfect #everythingallatonce #teachersofinstagram #summerreading #summerreadinglist #teachersonsummerbreak

  • Ten years ago, I brought a little hound puppy home from the Kentucky Humane Society after begging my mom for YEARS for a dog. I knew Annabelle was ours the moment she bit my ear. From there, Annabelle ruled the house. She sat co-pilot in the car. She was the absolute best snuggler. She loved wearing clothes. She could smile bigger than any dog I’ve ever met. She was also a mess and a half. She stole food from wherever she could get it. She was jealous - of other dogs, of Justin, of my new nieces. She plopped herself in my lap anytime she could to claim her territory, but when she was mad at me, refused to turn her face to look at me. She was the leader of the pack, the first of four. Today we had to do the hardest thing I, personally, have ever had to do. Having a dog as an adult is way different than having a dog as a kid. My heart is broken into a million pieces. Mama loves you, Belly girl.
  • I took a trip to the library yesterday and gobbled this one up in a couple of hours. I picked it from the shelf on its name alone and it did not fail to disappoint. Audacious is a novel written in verse from the perspective of a girl who has a knack for pushing the boundaries in every way. It was a beautiful reminder of the beauty - and the chaos - that comes from walking the unknown, just because you felt like it. @gsprendergast #audacious #audaciousbook #bookstagram #bookstagrammers #teachersofinstagram #teachersonsummerbreak #kentuckyteacher #teacherswhoread #youngadultreads #youngadultnovel #youngadultlit #yalit #ya #read #reader #readersofig
  • Summer reading book #2 is finished! This sweet book, the sequel to #therosieproject, failed to hold my attention as well as the first, but was still so perfect. Don is one of my absolute favorite characters, as cringeworthy as he is. I give #therosieeffect 4/5 stars! Up next on my summer reading list is #bravenotperfect by @reshmasaujani. #summerreading #summertime #teacherswhoread #teachersonsummerbreak #bookstagram #bookshelf #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #stopteacherguilt
  • Come on, Mom... let’s go do something. It’s my first official day of summer break. I’ve already slept in, written in my #starttodayjournal and read. What else is there to do? #dogsofinstagram #dogstagram #puppies #pupsofinstagram #dogs #summer #teachersonsummerbreak #teachersummer
  • These teacher leaders are my PEOPLE. I love doing life and leadership with them. I don’t know if I love this angle quite as much. #kentuckyteacher #kentuckyteachers #kyteacherleaders #leadership #wearejcps #jcpsdl #jcpsambassador #jcpsforward
  • I needed to read this today. . . I’m often frustrated with what I feel is a lack of progress. I feel stuck. I want to move forward faster. I know there is work to be done and it must be done soon - or every child that leaves our schools and our classrooms will be another that we’ve failed. . . We DO have work to do. But small steps create big impacts. I can do a little today and, one day, I’ll see those ripples. . . #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers #teachers #theartofcoaching @elena_aguilar_writer #coaching #teacherleadership #teacherleaders
  • Here’s my #toberead stack for the summer. I’ve gotten myself in a great habit of reading every single day - in the morning and at night. I can’t wait to dig into these! #bookstagram #books #reading
