October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month

I recently saw that October was Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. There are so many causes and awareness movements that sometimes, unless it directly affects you, you forget the movement or awareness is happening. A friend on social media posted about her story of pregnancy loss. I hadn’t known that she had gone throughContinue reading “October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month”

A story of loss and healing

It’s 10:30 am on a Thursday. It’s been one week since we heard the news that our first Frozen Embryo Transfer (FET) failed. I hadn’t thought that I would use this blog for something so personal, it’s intent was to be used in conjunction with my online teaching business, but I just felt compelled toContinue reading “A story of loss and healing”

It’s Spring Break – Time to Add Classes!

I would venture to say that nearly everyone looks forward to Spring Break. It’s just engrained in us since childhood. When we were little and in school, knowing that we had a week off from school was wonderful! It’s a sign that hopefully warmer weather and outdoor activities are right around the corner. And nowContinue reading “It’s Spring Break – Time to Add Classes!”

Working Mama

I am blessed in so many ways. I have a beautiful baby boy, an amazing husband, and a job that allows me to work from home – actually 2 jobs!

I know the content is good, where did I go wrong? In my last blog post I talked about changing things up for the new year by reinventing someContinue reading “Ongoing Course for the Win”

New course type for a New Year

Today I decided I needed to put my thinking cap on and create some new classes, or maybe I should say reinvent some old ones. This is both fun and a challenge. After all, how do you create classes that will catch a parent’s eye, catch a learner’s interest, and be a subject that isContinue reading “New course type for a New Year”

Looking Back at My Year on Outschool

Well, technically it hasn’t exactly been a year. But as 2020 is coming to a close, I thought it would be nice to reflect on my Outschool experience. Before getting into the background info, I want to begin by saying that I love working on Outschool. Now for a bit of background. I have wantedContinue reading “Looking Back at My Year on Outschool”

Outschool Class Listing

While I continue to wait for an answer on so many things – my VIPKid application, whether school will be held in person or online, etc – one thing that has progressed is Outschool! My first 3 classes have been approved! Creating a class is pretty easy, granted you have an idea of what youContinue reading “Outschool Class Listing”

I’m on Outschool

So life has thrown me several curve balls and I’m definitely rolling with the punches. First, I learn the most wonderful news that I’m pregnant! But with this news comes the fact that I don’t want to miss my baby growing up while trying to start a brand new dance studio. Secondly, coronavirus sweeps theContinue reading “I’m on Outschool”
