// So Long Summer, We've Enjoyed You!

{heading home; touched by our rainy day; a little watercolour effect; #andthosewavyedges}

 

This weekend marks our last 'official', official weekend of summer according to our calendar. While many have just hated our overheated days in the north that lingered at times for a whole, entire week (to emphasize it)-- what should the south say?, we're not complaining to tell you the truth. Escape days were enjoyed on and in and around the water: morning, noon and even late at night (swamp hair as proof), and our Mother Nature sights were always new and evolving, and rocking. We mega-relaxed, celebrated milestone moments within our family, relished our cooler indoors, chilled with grilled-everything just about, homemade ice cream on rotation, and much to be thankful and grateful for with another summer. Indeed. And I didn't indulge in even one-fifth of my diet pepsi that I thought I'd need to survive it! So we'll take our happy memories, bank them, and keep on keeping on right into our next season, just a week away. Right now, our thoughts and prayers are with those south of us affected by this week's earlier storm, and of course Hurricane Florence. Hang together, and stay as safe as you can as a community. Together is the only way. Have a loving weekend everybody. xo

// Our Teaching Portfolio (and What to Include in It)

In a nutshell, our teacher-created portfolios show what we've been up to over the years: from our college days all the way through our grad school years, in and out of our standard, everyday classrooms, and where our career journey in Education has taken us. It carries a tremendous amount of reference and can-do weight wherever we are in the world as our field of Education has many overlapping elements and commonalities such as learning basic Mathematics, Language and Life Skills. We can often branch out into additional leadership roles in Education such as Webinar presentations, Materials, Compliance, and Health and Safety positions, which allow for more humanitarian work with elevating, overseeing/ governing larger groups of our whole for the greater wellness of our society. Ever so often, I am asked by new teachers what should they put in their portfolio, and the very first thing that always comes to mind are photos(!) of our experiences, and lots of them! As we settle into our new school year, I decided to highlight five important content-rich areas that continue to be the most significant and where we should focus our photo-happy moments...

// 5-Ingredient Sunday Salmon Salad

Happy Sunday! First up, I am so happy (and relieved!) that we had a safe and great first week of school this side also. I hope you had a fine week as well with getting back into a busier morning groove. Before we know it, it will feel like a breeze.~ Welcome, and welcome back everyone.

 

On to our dish of the day...  A tasty and healthy go-to for busy week nights and keeping things light (yet filling) on the weekend is this quick and easy five-ingredient salmon salad. It's pretty versatile, so you can switch things up with substituting your preferred lean meat protein: grilled chicken, turkey, shrimp, or beef for starters. It starts with a simple fish rub that's in everyone's pantry and the rest is a no-brainer. More time to maximize on some cozy movie time. We fell asleep twice this past week (and within minutes of) as it was indeed bedtime at 10 pm after a fully-loaded day. Fingers crossed that this third time will be the charm. Have a restful Sunday everybody.  ~xx
