My new afternoon workout: walking laps of the pool My new afternoon workout: walking laps of the pool while reading! (Do not adjust your screens: I am actually in the pool. For the third time this week!)
Looking for some summer reading? I’ve compiled a Looking for some summer reading? I’ve compiled a list of 16 recent reads that I highly recommend (link in bio). If you like general fiction, suspense/thriller or nonfiction you’re sure to find something here to try! Happy reading!
What would your imaginary lives be? I've been rea What would your imaginary lives be? I've been reading The Artist's Way (by Julia Cameron with Mark Bryan) and the authors recommend coming up with a fun list of five other lives that you might enjoy (without overthinking it), and then seeing if there are tiny pieces of them you can incorporate into your real life (e.g., if you chose country singer, maybe pick up a guitar and learn a chord!) Clearly being a teacher is my calling (along with raising a family) but it's fun to think about some alternate possibilities: *TV talk show host *Author *Professional organizer *Philanthropist/director of a charitable organization *Personal assistant to a celebrity I must have seen this recommendation somewhere years ago because I feel like I've actually made efforts to incorporate bits and pieces of these passions into my current life, even though they'll never be my full-time job! Will I ever host my own TV show? Well, who knows, but I can do segments! I won't give up teaching to write full time, but I am published and have been writing a blog for years. I use my organizing skills at home and school and am happy to share advice (if not manual labour) with those who want it. (I try not to share it with those who don't!) I do my best with nonprofit support (check out my new Instagram account @evenbetterproject for more on that). The personal assistant to a celebrity...not so much. But I have had opportunities to meet and work with lots of well-known people which certainly helps scratch that itch for me! How about you - if you can't come up with a list of five right away, what's one? You don't have to share it here of course (though I'd love to know!) but even having the ideas in your own mind may send you in a fulfilling direction...or five!
There’s a brand new, very personal essay on the There’s a brand new, very personal essay on the blog today (link in bio) about my Grandpa Leahy and me. And by “brand new”, I mean I started taking notes 30 years ago and finally hit “publish” this morning. Every summer I told myself I would finally get around to doing justice to these memories, yet the task seemed too daunting. When summer holidays began last week (coinciding with me cracking open the book The Artist’s Way) I set a goal to work on the essay for 10 minutes a day at my treadmill desk, and if it took months then so be it. In fact it only took a few days, since once I got started each day I couldn’t stop after only 10 minutes. So there’s the behind-the-scenes of the process - now I would love to share with you the story of my relationship with my Grandpa. Please let me know what you think!
My birthday gift this year was this beautiful Hobb My birthday gift this year was this beautiful Hobbs Wessex dress - as seen on the Duchess of Cambridge, purchased from the lovely @double_duchess_closet and altered for me by Terry’s Tailor Shop! I was rereading The Happiness Project this week (as I do about once a year) and stopped to ponder the section on the happiness that a collection can bring. As a serial declutterer, there’s not much that I collect. Then I realized that my #replikate clothing and accessories are definitely part of a collection, and @gretchenrubin’s writing holds true: “A collection provides a mission, a reason to visit new places, the excitement of the chase, a field of expertise (no matter how trivial), and, often, a bond with other people.” While I realize it’s much better to have a style of one’s own than to emulate someone else’s, 95% of my fashions are Kate Winn...so I think it’s fine to have a bit of fun with the other 5% - and I have definitely met some like-minded friends along the way!
Celebrating Canada Day with a flashback to last su Celebrating Canada Day with a flashback to last summer’s visit to the Office of the Prime Minister in Ottawa and interview with the extremely kind and gracious @sophiegregoiretrudeau. What an experience for the girls, and for me. You can’t go wrong with the Canadian flag as a photo backdrop! 🇨🇦 (P.S. Episode 33 of This Mom Loves)
On this day in 2017 it was the Friday before the l On this day in 2017 it was the Friday before the long weekend and my kindergarten partner @saryoung99 (who was on mat leave at the time) accompanied me to my segment at The Social. We knew the afternoon drive home from the city would likely take longer than normal, but did not anticipate that the 90 minute drive there would become a 3 hour 45 minute drive home...a record I am not eager to break! While Sarah and I did manage to have a socially distant end-of-year-and-July-birthdays celebration this year we did not think to take a selfie of our DQ takeout or our rained-out walk in the park, so this post can also serve as my summer thank you to an amazing friend and classroom partner - attempting virtual learning for kindergarten during a pandemic with our own kids at home was no joke!! I’m certainly anxious to see what the fall will bring...but happy to take a few weeks off before thinking about it!

Congratulations to our COVID-19 graduate! As disap Congratulations to our COVID-19 graduate! As disappointed as we were originally that graduation would have to be online this year, Liv was still very excited and enthusiastic about the event, and our school team did a fabulous job of putting together a virtual graduation that appeared to go off without a hitch! We are very proud of her awards (Academic Achievement and the Father Walsh Memorial Award for Religion) but moreso for the resilience and positive attitude she has shown in the face of such an unanticipated finish to her elementary years. Her beautiful dress is from @cathyallanladieswear - ironically we picked it up after school on Thursday, March 12th and immediately after returning to the car we got the news about the extended school closure after March Break. Who knew what that would turn into?
