A List of Links

It has been just over 7 weeks since Oscar made his way into the world. I am finally starting to get some time to do things other than nurse and change diapers.  This past weekend I went for my first run (so hard - so good) and I've done yoga in my bedroom a couple of times.

Feet on the ground. 2 miles - slow and steady but done!

Before the run, lots of walking with the little man

I looked at the calendar yesterday and saw that school starts for teachers in two weeks. I saw "First day of school" in my calendar and my heart leapt. Then I remembered I won't be going back to school! Still, I keep forgetting, having mild panic attacks, and then remembering that I won't be there. There is so much anxiety surrounding the first day of school. I just can't escape it. The struggle is real my friends.

I've been reading lots more board books and don't have any books for you. But I do have some links! Here are some things I've been reading on the web lately.

I'm not the only one who has anxiety around school. Teacher burnout - it is for real but there is hope.

Back to school shopping has, apparently, started. Silver lining? Back to school reading lists have started as well!

Here's another list of books - The Most Astonishingly Unconventional Books of 2018. I NEED to get my hands on Inside the Villains.

And this book - another great book to start conversations about including everyone and diversity.

This guy and his book art.

Maybe it is because I'm a new mom, but dang this elephant video got me.

And finally, I had 15 minutes to myself so I got to make a special treat. So yum!
