Unleashing the Wanderlust Spirit: Exploring the World Through the View From Up Here

Don’t Let Anyone Tell You That You Can’t

“You’ll never find a job in this market, just stay in school for as long as you can!”
“You will have to go to that dreaded teacher interview day, it’s like Black Friday for teachers!”
“You will have to go to interview after interview and probably have to work for a school you don’t even want to work for.”
“First there is transfer period then there is pool then there is…”

These are all statements I heard from people upon graduating from the college of education. Did I let it get me down. No way! I was too excited to start my life, and start my journey of teaching…I mean that’s what I paid big bucks for anyways. Those harsh statements did not stop me from sending out resumes and getting my name out there.
Half way into May, I received an email from a professor about an opening at a wonderful school here in Tampa that I had interned at for my first internship. My best friend had also gotten a job at this school following her final internship this semester (see people do get jobs!). She wanted to know if I would be interested in applying at this wonderful school. I jumped all over this opportunity, as I had no idea there were any openings. A week later I was interviewing, and two weeks later I had my follow up interview.
At the follow up interview, I was offered a job as the 4/5s (preschool) teacher. These children have most likely been in this school since they were babies, so they are familiar with the routines of attending a school setting. My job is to teach them to read, and most importantly have fun with them. I am so excited about this opportunity, these preschoolers are going to be wrapped in my arms this next year and guided in every right direction. I can’t wait to shape them into phenomenal kindergarteners.

As we pause to give thanks, my heart is filled wit As we pause to give thanks, my heart is filled with gratitude for the amazing family I was given. I recently was blessed with a new brother-in-law and being able to celebrate my sister and him during the week of Thanksgiving was so special. Here's to the shared laughter, comforting embraces, and the unwavering support that make every day a blessing. Happy Thanksgiving! #Family #Thanksgiving
We’ve all asked our kids to clean up after they’ve played. It’s a huge mess, and they don’t even know where to start. I don’t know about you, but tasks like that make me feel overwhelmed and I ask for help from @octiclean or my husband or someone (anyone). I’m not teaching my kids how to clean their room—I’m teaching them that sometimes there are tasks that are way too hard for one person to do on their own. That their is help available, and you just need to ask. 💙
We traveled the world Wednesday, and we’re sick We traveled the world Wednesday, and we’re sick Friday. 🤒 Hear me out though—you or your child can get sick anywhere. Target, a friends house, play gym, school—the list goes on. Yes we MOST LIKELY got sick at Disney, but did we have fun doing it? Yes. After we were locked in the house for that one sickness 3 years ago, I refused to not live. We got that sickness from someone entering our own house, not even being out in the wild. We’ve been to Disney tons of times, cruises, planes, and all the fun things since and honestly we haven’t gotten sick on or from our trips. So here’s to more adventures and stronger immune systems. 😬 Also, lots of vitamin c and all the good meds, cause I don’t say no to that.

We recently moved things around in C’s room. She We recently moved things around in C’s room. She got a new mattress, new princess @potterybarn sheets, and the most perfect blanket. We went to put in her in the bed and she got so upset that she wasn’t sleeping in her crib. Thank goodness I hadn’t taken it apart—I had only moved it to the other side of the room. At this point she’s still in her crib, and still loving her sleep! I’m just here to say that whatever schedule your other kids might have been on with development or changes—it’s okay if your other child isn’t ready. They will be ready and won’t go to college sleeping in a crib. 👏
