Self care seems like a buzz word lately... and for good reason! I'm especially thankful that this trend has found it's way into education conversations. This post welcome's back my friend and fellow teacher Jessi from Ceiri-ous Goals! I introduced her last month and she's back with a second installment loaded with DO-ABLE tips!

Happy Healthy Teachers!
Ready for a healthy start to the year? After a glorious week in the sunshine, my mind and body is actually craving the structure of the school schedule (I CAN'T believe I'm saying this!).
