// 5 Things That Worked in 2022.

As we wrap up our classroom commitments for 2022, Yay!, I always take a look back at the year that was... 'the good list' if we may. What worked, consistently? What gave our days an upper momentum and greater resilience? And to bring these solid notes forward into 2023 for another successful year. Thank you to all our dedicated Educators (in the classroom and virtually), and Community Administrators who did their part supporting our stellar days, as well as navigating the difficult and unexpected reveals this year. Continuous follow ups are a must with any unruly pattern to effect positive change, uplift and maintain a safe, healthy, and peaceful environment for all.

// In Praise of Larger Salad Bowls

I love my lunch salads, regardless of the season and how 'cold' it is outside— so this summer we're embracing the 'larger' salad bowl, celebrating with more healthy and flavourful salad moments: lobster and red snapper included, with balanced dressings. Currently loving this Acacia Wood bowl, and more linked pieces after the jump. It's going to be a wild one...

Happy to have caught up with our summer sunflowers this year. And Mother Bee knew I needed a longer than usual moment and shared quietly. It's always the little things that bring us such joy. Have a nature-ful Wednesday. :)
