I just gave my 9 yo my iPod touch from the early 2000s/2010s. She’s thrilled to be able to listen to music on her own. ❤️Until we get an external CD drive, she’s stuck with “old songs” 😂

When the semester officially stars next week I'll be starting my 11th year teaching... an associate professor with tenure! :) Here's to the 2nd decade and "mid career" journey...

Looking for a needle in a haystack. #ActiveLearning paper published pre-pandemic (2016-2019 ish) that highlighted how not all active learning strategies work for all professors/classrooms. Likely in #STEM. Included table with recs in discussion. #SoTL #ChemEd

I remember feeling discouraged after reading it… that my evidence based practices might not be effective. And that the efficacy of these strategies also depended on growth mindset and/or inclusive practices.

Two things that do not go well together: kiddo stomach bugs and grading culinary chemistry recipe reflections. 🤢

I’m a “being on time is being five min early” person and this morning my 7 yo told me “being on time is not important” and I…. I was not the best parent this morning.

I spent the week coordinating dance recital rehearsals and managing costumes and gear…. So my 4 yo could tell me she waved to daddy (and only daddy) from the stage.

My 7 yo told me she had a dream her birthday present was a doll from the #OldenDays… “from when you were little mommy” 😂 #KidsKeepYouHumble

For parents of kiddos in #MusicLessons: the “guess which song I am playing game” works REALLY well to encourage practicing.

One of the 4 yo’s favorite songs from the radio is Alanis’s You Oughta Know because she likes that she sounds angry. What a great strategy for dealing with big feelings.

If the word #exam is anxiety-inducing and #quiz makes it seem not important enough… what do I call the 7 end-of-module assessments? #GenEd #ChemTwitter

One week. That's how long I can make it with the kiddos without leaving the house solo for a significant amount of time before I totally lose my sh!t. #SummerBreak @Momademia

The song of the day is “my mom is a piranha” to the tune of “this girl is on fire” 🙄 at least they are doing things together and not arguing
