Bonus Pic (not counted in the 10) I’ve been seeing this little thing around called “10 on 10,” where you post ten photos on the 10th of the month of what life has looked like lately. Because I’ve been diligently taking a photo of Raven every day, I figured this was an easy way to …
Giving Raven a bath after a particularly gross blowout (which, coincidentally, is always more funny after the fact than during) I was thinking the other day about how I hardly ever blog about teaching anymore.
