Every time I read the local news and see a teacher who was awarded a $250 grant for her classroom, I understand that she spent hours of her own time applying for it. Writing it. Going through a submission process.

For $250. For her classroom…

Paradise, Mt. Rainier National Park

@wldflwrnina.bsky.social is an amazing artist, soul, and overall wonderful person. It was such an amazing privilege to work with them over the years.

Better to bend than to break. 🌾

Another fave. This one with one of my all time fave people. @wldflwrnina.bsky.social

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if all you accomplish this weekend is reading a riveting novel cover-to-cover whilst drinking multiple kettles of tea and consuming a scandalous amount of croissants, then you will have accomplished more than enough.

Here is a first year dahlia seedling I grew this year and fell in love with— Here’s hoping she comes back true to form next season.

How precious is this moment I captured!?

I love this image so much, I printed off a large print to hang on my wall.

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

I love this black and white photo that was captured of me.

What is something you “nerd out” about? For me, it’s flowers.🌷☺️
