I remember when my eldest was a toddler, I'd lie down next to her waiting for her to fall asleep and wonder how many more years she'd want me to do that. Well now she is almost 8 years old and I still stay by her bed for her to sleep. I love it so much 💕

I remember when North Face, ipods, uggs, etc were all the rage back in the day. I didn't buy into it because I was ok wearing any jacket, using any mp3, and wearing cheaper shoe brands. I think it's helped me not care as much about masking now having that mindset since I was young.

Buy a book.
Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.
Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

Decorated for the Christmas holiday yesterday. My 4 year old woke up this morning asking if Santa already came. Poor kid has to wait about a month for Santa to visit. Luckily he just said, "okay" when I told him Santa will be here way later.

Making a playlist showcasing Indigenous American history, music and stories to show during my family's Día de Pavo (Turkey Day). And Yes, we never call it día de acción de gracias. We've always called it Turkey day, día de pavo.

Met with many families today to support with rental assistance. Why do landlords take so much advantage of people?

A student made my day today by looking so disappointed at another student unsuccessfully using VR. It was hilarious! He did all the body language bits plus stare at me like I was a camera in the Office 😅

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..
“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”
More celebrities need to speak out like this.
