New Normal

Posted byauthorlaurablogPosted inUncategorizedTags:,

I went to the grocery store last week with a scarf fashioned as a mask but it wasn’t easy. It slipped and needed to be adjusted and retied several times. I touched my face more than ever. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m sharing this picture at the request of a fellow blogger and follower. I bought this mask from a neighbor who’s been sewing them and sending them to people in need. I posted this picture yesterday and a childhood friend pointed out it needed to be worn higher on my face. Yes, I had adjusted it before the photo so I could drive.

I hope you’re doing well and staying in touch with people you aren’t able to see in real life right now. Or doing well and keeping distance from people you need space from based on what I’m hearing. 😉

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
