Lately at work, my maternity leave is constantly on my mind. It is is hard to stay in the moment at work. In the back of my mind I keep thinking about what I will need to train my replacement in, all while wanting to enjoy the time I have with my students and this great work we all do. This maternity leave will be my first break from student affairs work in 8 years. I know it will be really good for me. I imagine this break could bring me some new insight in the field and into myself.

This week, I added a new catagory in my blog. It is called “Real Simple” after the magainze. I’ve been a Real Simple reader for a long time. One of the things they always offer is “question of the month”. I’ve always wanted to start answering those questions on my blog. I think it is a fun way to share some fun thoughts and insight.
September’s question was “What does home mean to you?
For me, home means favorite places. There are so many places I love inside our house. I love the eating table in our kitchen. It’s where I eat breakfast and look out the window each morning. I love sitting on the couch with Matthias and catching up on all our favorite t.v. shows, thanks to our Comcast DVR. And, I love our front porch. It is a great place to visit with guests, enjoy a really good book or sit and relax.
