I'm a teacher in a low-income school district. Gifts are very rare. I understand this completely. What I REALLY appreciate, though, are cards from both parents and students. A paragraph that sh...
I hope that parents use some common sense, too. We had visitors recently who expected my boyfriend and me to have a sippy cup. We don't have any kids!!!!! Why wouldn't they bring their own sippy...

Do your laundry at off-peak hours, and only use hot water when you really, rea...
This is a truly wonderful organization. I work at a school that just can't provide any extras (or even some basics) for its students. Donors Choose has helped me quite a bit. Please donate!!!!
Ha! The smoking thing again. Yeah, my neighbor is a big time smoker (cigarettes and...). So my house smells like cigarettes (or weed if it's the weekend). Even when I close the door and window, ...
I have lace curtains in my bedroom, and I love them. They let in a beautiful filtered light. They also, of course, provide little privacy. I got a pair of tan "temporary" blinds, which fold up a...
