Me

I never thought I'd be a blogger.

No, I never thought I'd be a blogger that people actually read.

I'm pretty sure my parents are happy I'm putting my journalism degree to good use.

After a year of blogging every single day, I quit cold turkey. And what I found is that I missed it.

Terribly.

And rather than starting up a mommy blog, or a DIY blog, or a recipes blog, or a yoga blog, or a teaching blog--all the facets of my life--I decided I'd continue to do what I know best:

  • Stay in the moment.
  • Choose happiness.
  • Shine brightly.
If you are new here, welcome. 

I'm a 30-something French teacher by day, and a lover of most things by nights, weekends, and summers.

Hmmm...maybe things that begin with "S" it seems...

As I type, I'm a mom to a two and a half year old boy and a two month old boy, and I'm convinced they will be the best of friends...just as soon as the little one does more than spit up everywhere. I've been teaching yoga for five years, and practicing for ten. My husband, well, he's simply the best, for all the right reasons.   

This is my our journey.
