thoughts for my future husband

Check it out! I found something blog-worthy!
So I was digging through my past in attempt to clean even more of my crap out of my parents house and I found a little journal- Anyone remember that Rebecca St James song Wait for Me? Well she released a journal with little prompts to write to ones [...]

Happy Milk Day!

I say that because some of our students believe we don’t have school today because its milk day. Calendars can be confusing, MLK and all… I’ve corrected as many of them as I could…
Many of you probably know that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr is one of my heroes. Basically the man rocks my socks [...]

A Conversation

7th Grade Female Student: Miss Jacobson, have you ever liked a boy and had this feeling, like a tingling that starts in your nose and goes to your toes?
Me: Like a bubbly feeling?

Must Haves/ Can’t Stands

I love the reservation with my entire being and I know that it will always be a [...]

Ok, so this weekend I came to some interesting realizations.

That’s what happens when you’re in your 20s I [...]
