One day it's snow and ice, and the next day is 60°F and sunny! That has always been the weather challenge here in  Saint Louis, Missouri. It's sort of what you see is what you get with absolutely no rhyme or reason. But, I can always tell when Spring is near... the itchy eyes, runny nose, sore throat and laryngitis give it away each year as the doldrums of Winter anxiously await the awakening of a new Spring.

I have always loved Valentine's Day and as a child I especially enjoyed the school parties the room mothers planned for us on this …

One of the milestone events of every school year is the 100th day of learning.The  100th day of school most commonly falls sometime in January or February, dependent upon the first day of the school year. No matter your current grade level, you should be 100 days smarter when this day arrives! It is said that the idea for this popular school day came about in the 1990s along with the "new" math (which I am still trying to master!). Following the holiday break faculty and students …
