Gratitude Project: Teacher's Survival Kit

 I live in the province of Alberta and our kids are about to go into 3 weeks of online learning again.

This is totally necessary, and I support it whole-heartedly. That said, it is never easy, and moreover, the last time we did online learning, I realized how difficult it would be for the teacher.

CUE THIS TEACHER'S SURVIVAL KIT FOR ONLINE LEARNING!!!!

Thanks to the Dollar Store I had a great box.

And what is the best way to survive online learning? Be drunk and eat stuff!

So I stocked my kit with the following:

Bottle of wine

Advil

Chocolate

Charcuterie

Cheeses

Fruit

& an "It's OK" sticker

Buy Box.

Add divider.

Add wine.

Fill with goodies.

 

On a serious note: Teacher's are undervalued. Especially during this past year. During a pandemic my kid's teacher has been a bright spot in my child's day. Always upbeat and sunny. She truly cares about these kids and their success. She teaches them empathy and kindness, something I feel you can only do if you already embody those traits. 

So to you, Ms, Cluette-Alstad, I am so grateful to you.

Travel: Georgia - Day Three (Part 2)

We were back to Barnsley Gardens by 2pm, giving us our first moment of down time.
What to do in the south? Why, go skeet shooting! Obviously.

Why yes, that is a golf cart fitted with a gun rack.
That's how we roll...

Travel: Georgia - Day Three

Day Three already!
I found myself with a little bit of time before breakfast, so I went for another walk through the Barnsley historic ruins. The night before was great, but it was even better to walk around and see the grounds in full daylight.

Travel: Georgia - Day Two (part 2)

... before leaving the historic Barnsley ruins, there was a little snack to get our evening started.

 Did I mention that this trip was all about food?
