Another reason to love #Costco - their online appliance prices include delivery, installation, haul away, and all connecting parts. Plus, their delivery and installation guys arrived exactly when promised! 🤯 #ItsTheLittleThings

I figured out how to make easy lyric videos in Canva! The "Captions" app inside Canva will auto-caption music as long as it is added to a video file, so you just create your video (minus captions), download and re-upload it, and then use the app!

When an original musical you're working on is a love letter to 8-bit video games (and their creators AND heroines), celebrating "Mario Day" on Mar 10 is a must! :)

I get it— Legos are PRICEY, lol! #legomom
The heists occurred in several California counties, where the alleged thief would load his shopping cart with the expensive building toys and disappear into the parking lot in a matter of minutes.
California man charged after Lego larceny worth $25,000

When it comes to building courses in Canvas, I think I work in the opposite direction from most instructional designers. Here's what I do (and why I think it works WAY better than how most people build Canvas courses)...

Lately, I've been thinking about why some tasks feel WAY harder than they should. And I've realized there are different KINDS of effort that can make things feel hard.
