Back, but different.

Life got busy. Teacher training took over and everything else fell by the wayside. My first two years as a teacher have been tough. Workload, expectations and figuring out "who I am" as a teacher have taken their toll. My husband (then boyfriend) broke his neck - he's fully recovered now! - so that was a pretty big deal. We also got married and went on an exceptional honeymoon so there have also been some huge high points, too. Anyway, this blog went radio-silent for a long, long time. 

I recently re-joined teacher-gram and am loving it. Threads has also just launched and I have caught the blogging bug again. More than anything, I want a record of all of the joy and fun in my life so that I can look back at these posts and actually remember what I've done. We consume so much and DO so much these days that I truly think I forget 80% of it.

So, here I am. Diarising once a week to help me remember and also posting anything useful from the classroom that I feel other educators might find value in.

When I was blogging before, I got so caught up in making it perfect that I just didn't enjoy it most of the time. I was stressed about having a custom URL and the most professional looking photos and churning out content. I am trying my best to let go of that now so that I can simply enjoy the process of writing.

There will most likely be a lot of cat pictures, other people's content (always linked to source, of course) and updates on what I've watched, read, eaten and seen lately. 

Happy to have you here. Enjoy! xo
