Old Navy Dance Off

We're walking around outside and Cass has to go potty. I suggested Starbucks, Matt suggested Old Navy because it was closer. Now the angel on my left shoulder knew the right thing to do would have been to walk the extra block and hit up Starbucks. There are two on every corner and the bathrooms are pretty clean. But the other angel, yes I have two angels and one has a halo that is slightly askew on my other shoulder, knew if we went to Old Navy there would be sales! Plus the added bonus of Matt getting his way, putting him in a good mood and solidifying my chances of taking advantage of the aforementioned sales!

So, with no hesitation I told the hubby that his was the better suggestion and into Old Navy we went. While there, Cass got a balloon for good behavior. Then she walked around with Daddy while Savvy and I hit the baby section.  We do have a system of sorts. I pick out only stuff on sale, then take the pile to Matt and he helps me winnow it down to one item.

On my way to be winnowed, I notice that Cass is not by Matt's side, but she has found a mirror. And there is my 3 year old, moving her hips, waving her arms and singing at the top of her lungs to whatever pop music was playing overhead- and watching herself the whole time!  I tried to be sneaky and catch her photo without her noticing.

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

NASPA @ NOLA 2025

I am very excited to get to serve on the annual conference team for NASPA 26 in KC! As part of the planning team, we have several onsite meetings. One is at this year's conference to be in transition with this year's team. Several of my staff members were able to attend the conference as well. Below are some photos with friends and colleagues who I was so happy to reconnect with!  The rest are notes I took from a few sessions. I as going to delete them, then thought, y'all might be interested in some of the random things always on my mind and in process. Take a peek! Also, NASPA stands for National Association of Student Personnel Administrators. While there opportunities all year long to engage with different groups and regions, in person and online, the annual conference is the premier event where you can learn and hang out with over 6,500 of your peers in higher ed work!  Notes: The balance of crisis management and change management is ongoing. Rest is essential. Decisio...
