Movie Review: Third Person Starring Liam Neeson
I am a sixth grade writing teacher, and I work a lot with my students on understanding perspective. We need to learn to understand how something may be seen through someone else’s eyes. We write in first-person telling our own stories, and we write in third-person telling stories through a narrator. We also read many […]
My Guilty Pleasure
My guilty pleasure? Do I even dare tell you? My kids all know, my husband knows. They see me involved in this guilty pleasure of mine way too often. Daily? Maybe. At least a few times a week. I hate to think of the hours I spend participating in this pleasure. It really is a […]

Skinny Brownies – So Yummy!
I love chocolate! Really, I have an insane love affair with chocolate. The gooey, sweet, dark chocolate – something like you would find in a warm just-out-of-the-oven brownie! Chocolate is heaven! Then I saw the movie Fed Up, and ever since I have been reading food labels for sugar content like a hawk. Trying to find […]
Religious Freedom? Hobby Lobby’s or Mine?
As most everyone has already heard, the Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a closely-held corporation can refuse to cover contraception in their healthcare plans for religious reasons. Some people are cheering and some are outraged. I am outraged. I believe that a cornerstone to being an American citizen is that in the United States […]
