There have been a few moments in the past week or two when I've felt reasonably competent when it comes to keeping all of the necessary balls in the air when it involves Lark + Lily.

Man Crush Monday – 11/16/15
It’s been awhile since I’ve admitted who I’m crushing on, but today seems like a good day to acknowledge a guy who I think is pretty awesome.

I generally bring a book to my post at the end of corridor, but often I don't read more than a sentence or two because I am so captivated by the students making their way to their home rooms.
