Bread, Birds, and Brothers (w21)

I will start this post with a sourdough update because I never would have thought that setting a goal to make homemade sourdough this year would lead to me making two to three loaves a week.

It’s been three months since I made my first loaf with Doughbra (my starter), and I’ve finally gotten the courage to make bread for other people.

Here’s a loaf I made for my coach on Saturday.

Quick Check In (w20)

This may be the busiest week of the year for me so far!

And I don’t mean my blogging week (Wednesday to Wednesday), but my actual work week.

I kicked off Monday with an all-day Intermediate Excel training class that I taught to state employees. It was SO fun—well, for me at least—because I normally teach traditional college students who are, well, young and uninterested.

A Marvelous Mother’s Week! (w19)

I’m having difficulty gathering my thoughts because it’s been a hell of a week, in a good way.

First, work is absolutely crazy right now. I have overextended myself as I do, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. In addition to wrapping up my six credit classes and submitting final grades, I am preparing for two days of Excel training next week, and I’m presenting at our professional development day on how to engage students in online courses. Once I get through next week, things will calm down. I’m just in overdrive at the moment.

Great Week! (w18)

It’s been such a crazy day that I’m writing this while watching Survivor! And it sucks because I have SO much I want to write about.

You know what? I’m going to work backwards through the week—it’ll probably be easier that way.

First, Today. Was. Awesome.
