For the past two Saturdays, I’ve been working in Florence scoring portfolios for a summer art program. It’s the first step of the process to find the best, most talented kids to teach this summer. It’s pretty awesome. Yesterday after the portfolio review, I stopped at my parents’ house for dinner. My mom made a …

Oh, hey. I’m terrible at blogging lately and I found this moth in my classroom at school. No worries, he’s been returned to the wild. Creepy, isn’t he? The big news this week is that our friends Kenny and Emily gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Monday evening! We had the pleasure of …

Yesterday, I missed my exit on the way to work. Yep, same route I’ve driven every morning for four years. Can’t explain that one, won’t try. Thank goodness for GPS. Leaving work yesterday, I spotted a bald eagle circling the school. Fitz tried to initiate himself into a feral cat colony this morning. …
happy valentine’s!
Ah, el dia del amor. Last year, we went out for a fancy dinner and Forrest began feeling sick. Ahem, waiter, could we get the next five courses to go? So this year, we thought we’d play it cool and stay in. It’s amateur night anyway, right? Forrest is in the kitchen now prepping lamb …

“Ms. Clonts, I like your sweater. It looks like the grass on a golf course.” Kids compliments are funny, aren’t they? Within a 24 hour period this week, I left my car keys in the front door, slept in my contacts (which never happens), and tried to pour myself a nice cup of coffee before …
AH!

Aren’t my boys just the best looking fellas? You know the hardest part of prepping our house for sale? Cleaning out closets! I’ve donated tons of my clothes recently and packed up a bunch more for storage. It’s been rough. My bare-boned closet has me itching for a good shopping trip. But I’m fighting the …
weekending
This weekend was phenomenal (and super busy). Here’s the breakdown.. Saturday: Baby shower (Congrats, Kenny and Emily!), a family wedding (Congrats, Tara and Shaun!), and my aunt KK stayed the night with us! That’s my KK, cousin Rachel, and me at the wedding. Actually, Forrest photographed that wedding so I could’ve probably done a little …
steady the ship
I don’t get down with resolutions at the beginning of a year. Not because I don’t need/want to change things. I’m really just a flake and I forget to make resolutions. Also, why should I have to wait for the start of a year to commit to something? So my only real resolution goal this …
Welcome, 2012!
We headed down to Jacksonville to ring in the new year with our dear friends, Jon and Diana. Pierce flew in from Los Angeles to celebrate in Florida, as well! Also, maybe to see his girl Maura (by the way, it was super nice meeting you over the weekend, Maura!). So we all celebrated together! …
