I'm a school teacher who's passionate about teaching, meal prep, Keto and CrossFit. Let's talk.
I admit it, I’m not remotely excited about this school year. Moving to a different grade level and changing classrooms…again. For those keeping score this is my 6th move in as many years.

We started our last big project for science today. Growing plants in our compost, worm castings and plain dirt. Seems pretty easy, but making … Continue reading Space Tomatoes vs Earth’s Mightiest Tomatoes
