Welcome, Autumn! My favorite season of the year is finally here – autumn. The air is beginning to get crisp as the days grow shorter. Soon we will be getting out our coziest sweaters and socks and sipping tea and cocoa while reading a book by the fire (or, in my case, faux fireplace). It…… Continue reading Autumn Strolls {September 2020}
Bonjour, everyone! August is here (already?) and the summer sunshine came out to play. I, personally, have soaked up my last few days before going back to the classroom tomorrow.

Welcome back, Autumn, I’m so glad to see you! Autumn is my favorite time of year. Being a coastal town, and one with a boardwalk, Santa Cruz has a population that doubles during the summertime. Autumn is slower, crisper, calmer… Unless, that is, you’re a teacher (like me!). My autumn days are filled with ABCs…… Continue reading A Walk Through Time {Autumn Adventures}

Happy New Year! 2019 is here! I know I’m a day late posting about this, but I was soaking in my last full day with my fiancé before he had to go back to work. We had a wonderful last day of 2018 – we went for a 5 mile hike, got sushi for dinner,…… Continue reading Welcome, 2019!
