It was a delight to be able to share about mindfulness
with a room full of paraprofessionals today!
Mindfulness is a vital tool that can help our kids discover the connection between mind and body and find a sense of calm. #selfcare #calmbody #NorthProud #SummerSelfieBingo

360 view of Inspiration Point - definitely my top favorite spot nearby. The sheer beauty at sunset takes my breath away! #360view #NorthProud #SummerSelfieBingo #BINGO No. 4

Ran into these cuties when I was taking Scruffy for a walk in the neighborhood. They’re excited for the new school year and to be in 2nd grade 😊 #NorthProud #sunshinefamily #summerselfiebingo #northstudents4life

Babysat for the first time in forever and it was with the sweetest Paisley girl. We bounced around, sang, colored, played with a doll house, AND made homemade chocolate chip cookies together while her parents went on a 🔥 date to Dogwood! #northproud #summerselfiebingo

Brushing my puppy’s teeth for the first time was an adventure to say the least. I think he liked the peanut butter flavored tooth paste, but not so much the toothbrush 😂 #newdogowner #northproud #summerselfiebingo

Feeling super accomplished after organizing my class library into genres!! 💪🏻 I truly believe “Readers are leaders.” I want to foster a love for reading in my room and encourage them to find books of interest AND branch out to something new! #northproud #summerselfiebingo

So refreshing to be reminded that life is filled with so many different rhythms - it’s important to be in tune with your own personal rhythms of life. It’s healthy to step back, reflect, and remember the why of what you do. #BINGO #summerselfiebingo #podcast #RobCast #northproud

The best part of summer as a teacher is having the time to take road trips to see family! Adventures to Ohio, NC, Chicago, Nashville, Louisville, and Kansas City so far! #familylove #summerselfiebingo #NorthProud

Week 6 of training for a half marathon. Hit my personal record today of 8 miles! 🙌🏼 and even though it was blazing hot, it still felt like a 👌🏼 run! #getactive #sethighgoals #summerselfiebingo #NorthProud

Pool parties with Liam are the best sort. #summerselfiebingo #NorthProud

Sometimes when you’re doing yard work and gardening, you have to put your bee suit on. The one lone bee likes to chase after me 😂 it’s worth it though - my flowers are popping up like crazy! #summerselfiebingo #NorthProud

[Allison Cates @AllisonCates25]

Loved sharing about my bees with a dear friend 😍
