http://faithhopeandart.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
My High School Art Room. Saturday, January 31, 2015. I don't know what I would have done without Mindy. She drove the entire trip and never batted an eye at leaving early and not being able to stay for important meetings. I am so very thankful for her! Well, after a couple of hours of Doug still not feeling well, I finally just asked him if he was going to be okay feeling like this till Monday. He said no. So we packed up our stuff, got in the car and drove to the hospital in Ft. Worth. I left the hospit...

Faith, Hope and Art: Environment as Third Teacher
http://faithhopeandart.blogspot.com/2015/07/environment-as-third-teacher.html
My High School Art Room. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Environment as Third Teacher. In the quest for education rigor, academic performance and high stakes testing, the educational environment is easy to forget. I'm talking about the actual brick and mortar building. The classrooms, the playgrounds, the hallways, the bathrooms. Sure, it has to be safe. Everyone is aware of that. No one (or at least I'm not) is going to send their kids to a school like the one in Matilda! In fact, I bet the custodial team at my ...

My High School Art Room. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. A side benefit (and drawback) of healthy eating! Yesterday Maddie had a visit to her Rhumeatologist then we went and visited a friend in the hospital. Then we went to lunch. So many choices in the big city. So many healthy choices. So many bad choices. We ate at In and Out. But left me feeling a little greasy and queasy. So we shopped it off! That was super fun! I ate lots of healthy veggies with the pasta, but oh my. I feel bloated and bleh. Life defined ...

My High School Art Room. Monday, June 22, 2015. A new 5k personal best for me! Last year Doug and I both rocked the Jogging for Judah 5k. This year I have been training for a stronger 1/2 marathon finish and Doug has been hurt, so I knew that we wouldn't be chasing down our last year finishes. So I decided to change up my interval a little and just run hard and enjoy it. I did a 4 minute run, :35 second walk interval. I ran my FASTEST 5k ever! I ran it in 26:36! But heck, I'll take the plaque! But someth...

My High School Art Room. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. I take more "selfies" that my teenage daughter! Yesterday at lunch, I took a selfie. I was wearing a new shirt. Maddie rolled her eyes and said "Mom, you take more selfies that I do! I laughed as Lexi said that I didn't. That Maddie just sent her pictures via snapchat. I told her my friends didn't have snapchat, so I had to take pictures to text them or instagram them or facebook them! Anyway, that got me thinking about my picture taking. After a bunch of...

My High School Art Room. Tuesday, February 24, 2015. 40 Bags in 40 Days 2015. Years ago I completed my first 40 bags in 40 days challenge. It was amazing. I was SHOCKED at how many bags of junk and clutter that I filled and easily got rid of. This year, I'm starting late to do the 40 bags over the 40 days of Lent, but A. NYTIME can be a great time to declutter our lives. We just need to START! So here is my handy chart. I've saved it as a JPEG so that you can save it and use it too. Won't you join me?
