Taking my daughters to Wicked was such a full circle moment from when I was a 12yo Broadway hopeful belting out “Defying Gravity.”

The movie was incredible and I was rendered speechless by Cynthia Erivo’s immense talent. Wow.

I may or may not have cried.. and we sang the whole way home.

So.. I was yesterday years old when I learned the Hollywood sign doesn’t light up at night. While we had the kids in the car who we hyped up for it. 🤦‍♀️

“Mom, I like taking trips with you.”

“It feels good to be away.”

A good reminder of the importance of pausing work and setting aside intentional time with the best people you know.

✨ Did anyone else spend way too much time making avatars when you were in middle school/high school? Just me? 💀

It’s still fun! And with my favorite tool, it’s easy. It’s free for all K12 teachers and students- make your own and let me know how it goes! 🤘

A1 How could I possibly say anything but Adobe Express for Education? Not only is it my job to share about BUT I used it before I ever came to Adobe. Giving student voice and choice in how to express learning is so EASY! Plus you can make cool stuff like this!

I’m trying to give myself permission to play- and it’s so hard as a grown up. I’m always soafraid of failing. With that, here is my recent attempt at a self portrait/digital painting— may we AND our students embrace imperfection and play!

✈️ Upon my (very early) arrival at the airport this morning, I was greeted by one of the employees, who was cleaning the floor, loudly singing “I Want It That Way” and fully grooving.

May we all let that level of inner joy and confidence shine today!!
