Christmas Caroling at Renown

Cassidy has had several field trips already in her kindergarten class. The only one I was able to attend was the last one before winter break. And it was the perfect one to attend! We met at the school and climbed aboard the yellow school bus. After a brief safety talk from our driver we were off to Renown! It's one of three hospitals in our area. The kids sang in random spots throughout the hospital to anyone who would stop and listen. It was pretty cute.

After singing we hit up the child garden and play area. The kids got all of their energy out and enjoyed a teddy bear clinic. They brought their favorite stuffed animals in for a check up. All the animals got "flu shots". It wasn't scary at all. Then we headed back to school where lunch happened to be in progress.It was a fun way to spend the morning and I am very thankful I work in a place where my supervisor supports me in taking time off to be part of these moments!

The video was too large for this post, but you can view it here.  Cassidy is in the very back, towards the right of your screen. She is wearing antlers :-)

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...
