Is there anything from your childhood that you wish you still had? Maybe a favourite game, a close friend, or even a feeling? My answer to this question, albeit materialistic, is something that I used to play with for hours and hours... and hours: my Ninja Turtles action figures.
As a student, I am always looking forward - forward to the next semester, to graduation, and to when I can finally have my own classroom. But today, I'm looking back... on my childhood... and I would like you to do the same.

One of the things I miss the most about living in Winnipeg is being able to go to my all-time favourite restaurant - Olive Garden - anytime I want (sigh.)
I practically lived off of their unlimited salad and breadsticks during the five years I lived there. In my opinion, no Regina restaurant even comes close to Olive Garden's quality or taste. So, not too long ago, I took matters into my own hands and googled Olive Garden recipes. Thankfully, I came across this video that shows you how to make your own Olive Garden salad dressing. Something that I don't like to talk about a lot or to many people, for that matter, is that I have been diagnosed with Crohn's Disease. It's a chronic condition that is, often, misunderstood and that has symptoms that are unpleasant to talk about, even at the best of times.
Before I was enrolled in my ECMP 355 class, I used Google for the basics - searching, (g)mailing, mapping, word documenting, and, without even knowing it was part of Google's empire, Youtubing. Since enrolling in the class, however, I've learned a few other Gricks (that's Google + Tricks!) that are sure to help me personally and professionally.
... with pepper bells and garlic shells and other fruits and veggies all in a row.
It took me a while but I finally figured out how to fit everything I wanted to plant into the limited garden space that we have! What's that snazzy new purple thing at the bottom of my page(s), you ask? It's Wibiya - my latest technological discovery!
If you haven't heard of Hope's Home, it's probably because it's the first daycare of its kind in Canada. It's a medical daycare, which means that children with diverse medical needs can learn, play, and be cared for in an inclusive environment. Here's a video that gives a great overview of the daycare, its mission, and what's at the heart of it all - the children.
I'm still on cloud nine from what I accomplished at daycare today - I successfully brought two very diverse kids together. It was near the end of the day when this break-through occurred; I only had two kids left in my care - one was a kid who uses a wheelchair and cannot speak and the other was a very outspoken kid who does not use a wheelchair.
