The lives of the fabulous Florii. New Product Alert– Quark! Once I got home, I researched what quark was exactly and learned that it was technically a cheese product, similar in nature to cottage cheese. After reading about the production process, part of me regretted the purchase. However, I was happy to see that quark has many uses and is used heavily in Eastern European cooking. Today was tasting day. I was nervous. The verdict? Hy-Vee, in the Health Market dairy case. 199/ 6 oz container. Combining h...

The lives of the fabulous Florii. Mrs Flores.” And because that doesn’t transfer with you (unlike the 8 gazillion boxes of stuff I’m taking with me– sorry, babe), I’m going to spend the next few years rebuilding that legacy I’ve come to enjoy at my current school. That stings a little bit. I’m hoping for the best. Eleven years has treated me well; here’s hoping the next adventures does the same. May 28, 2014. Packing for Vacation is the Worst!

March of the tools. San Diego Vacation, Part 3, Torrey Pines Hike. San Diego Vacation, Part 2. San Diego Vacation, Part 1. Thursday, August 21, 2014. Summer's over, and it's time to get back to the school routine. But this year the routine is different. Little Brother, who isn't so little anymore, is starting kindergarten. But he'll do fine. He's a spunky kid who likes to explore and make new friends. I think he'll end up enjoying this kindergarten adventure. So why is this such a big moment? I hope that...

March of the tools. 7, 2, Rainbow. 7, 2, Rainbow. Wednesday, August 21, 2013. It seems like just yesterday that I had a tiny, two-week-old baby girl who hadn't yet reached her due date or gained back her birth weight. Now that baby is seven, and today she started second grade. I had long suspected that when I finally had a baby, it would be a tough, stubborn, and determined little creature with the power of perseverance. She is every bit of that. I expressed when she started first grade. As the big kid h...

March of the tools. Wednesday, March 5, 2014. A few weeks back, Big Sister had her first violin recital. She's a determined little thing, and she practiced her heart out before the big day. We were singing Lightly Row. All day long for weeks. But she was very nervous. What if I make a mistake? We brought a little friend with us to the recital, for some extra love and support, in hopes that it might help calm her nerves. When the time came for Big Sister to play, she couldn't do it. It was as if she w...

March of the tools. Wednesday, October 22, 2014. If you've ever been to Wimberley, Texas, you know its charm. You've shopped at the square or Market Days, you've gone swimming at Blue Hole, maybe you've seen a movie at the Corral Theatre or a play at the EmilyAnn Theatre. Perhaps you enjoyed summer camp at Rocky River Ranch (more on that soon! If you know Wimberley, you know what a beautiful Hill Country treasure it is. But do you know about Old Baldy?

The lives of the fabulous Florii. The job search…. If you’re building a house, you should probably have a job, or at least it’s a good idea. Thus, I have spent the last few months glued to the Teach Iowa. Website, looking and hoping that something will open up for me. So, where does that leave me? I have been playing the dilemma over and over in my head– do I take a job, if offered, at the first place I interview, or do I wait and see if something better comes along? February 21, 2014. Build, Buy, Build.
