I’ve been going back and forth lately about whether I still want to be doing these book review posts this next blogging year—while I freely admit I am a bit of a fanatic when it comes to reading (and book lists), I realize that not everyone shares my same obsession. So, on that note, I’d …
These pictures might make it look like I’m feeling all sorts of inspired to take on the world in my power pencil skirt and coral boho top, but the truth is… I’m feeling a little spent. Which totally doesn’t make sense, by the way, because I’ve just been on holiday for a week and a …
If I had a quarter for every time someone started freaking out about their grammar or their lack of good reading/writing habits around me the second they found out I was an English teacher, I could eat out every meal for a year. The truth is, we often define people by their jobs: Oh, you’re a …
