Today marks the beginning of a new feature for me: Made-It-Up Mondays. On Mondays, I am going to throw you a 100% made-up word and ask you to a) define the word, and b) then use the word in a sentence that indicates how the word could be used. What inspired this? Well, I’ll tell you….
Spot Check
I’m kicking off Wednesday #TWITS: a fancy-schmancy acronym for Teachers Whom I Think Scored / Teachers Whom I think Sucked. It only took me six bajillion hours to think up that one. So here is my middle school memory about one very specific moment. Obviously, I have changed the teacher’s name….
Teachers Who Sucked vs. Teachers Who Scored
Back in May, I realized my fall 2011 semester was going to be hectic, so I asked a bunch of people to consider helping me out by writing about a memory of a favorite (or not so favorite) teacher who helped them learn something about themselves or the world.

Rewarding My Frequent Fliers
A while ago, I decided that I would reward the person who made the 3,000th comment on my blog with a gift. No, there is nothing significant about the number 3,000. I just saw that the number was approaching, and the time felt right….
Lessons From Search Bombing
On April Fool’s Day, Ironic Mom & EduClaytion got together and created a hilarious way for bloggers to have a little fun. They call it “Search Bombing” and it involves using Google to type in little things we bloggers know about each other and then intentionally searching for them in an attempt to have these words show up on the intended bloggers’ “Most Frequently Searched Terms” lists. …
