I'm on track to finish 100 books in 2020. 🤩 I still have 2 more books to read, but I'm in the mood to look back on the year in books this weekend, so here we go: my favorite reads of the year by genre. Childrens / Young Adult FictionBecoming Naomi León by Pam Muñoz Ryan … Continue reading 2020 Books

We are lovely and loved
I'm supposed to be on my way out of the house right now to run various errands, but I've been watching the new season of Queer Eye all morning and I have to write some things down. If you haven't watched Queer Eye, the overarching message of the show is, "you are lovely and you … Continue reading We are lovely and loved
Halfway There
On July 4th I read my 50th book of 2018! Being completely on summer vacation for nearly a month now has confirmed that I would be a phenomenal stay at home dog mom. I love sitting around all day! Since July 4th I have read TEN books (and watched a lot of Netflix). Now I'm … Continue reading Halfway There
Here’s the thing about June
June was an exhausting month. We finished up the school year at Las Palmas and then I worked a week with YouthWorks in Brooklyn and spent the last couple of days of June running around getting things in order for my visa application! BLOG POSTS & ARTICLES // For God so loved Caitlyn Jenner by … Continue reading Here’s the thing about June
Here’s the thing about May
On the first day of May I walked down the stairs of my apartment building to be greeted by my principal. I was ten minutes late for school and she was holding a puppy. "It's a puppy!" she said. "Put him in your apartment!" Or something like that. So, naturally, I put him in my … Continue reading Here’s the thing about May
Here’s the thing about April
We started the month of April celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus! I can't imagine a better way to start anything! Testing gave us three half days in a row (and gave me much pride, grading the cumulative tests of my students!). In the month of April I had two First Grade Dinners (six of my … Continue reading Here’s the thing about April
Here’s the thing about March
I decided March was the perfect time to finally read the Twilight series (I started book three this morning), start yoga (thanks Adriene!), and go back to Jarabacoa. Semana Santa (Holy Week) is this week. A week with no school is a great way to wind up March and head into April. BLOG POSTS & … Continue reading Here’s the thing about March
Here’s the thing about February
February flew! We celebrated 100 days of school, Valentines Day, and Dominican Independence Day. I played a lot of euchre, house sat with my favorite furry friends, and saw some whales! I also read a bunch of books and watched a lot of House on Netflix - I can't enough of that crazy guy! This … Continue reading Here’s the thing about February
Here’s the thing about January
What a great start to 2015! I rang in the New Year in New York, came back to the DR to house sit with my new favorite dog and two new cat friends, sent out draft 1 of part 1 of The Nation to reader-friends, paid my deposit for my Peru trip, and already managed to … Continue reading Here’s the thing about January
Here’s the thing about December
I kicked off December by making myself at home in my new apartment. I acknowledged my NaNoWriMo loss and persevered. I finished Part 1 of Draft 1 of Novel 1. I mourned with brothers and sisters all over the United States who mourned losses and the suffering of being silenced. I signed up for a … Continue reading Here’s the thing about December
