Friend - at the studio waiting for Logan

"I'm not trying to knit. I can knit and I LOVE yarn."

Logan 6 years old - having an especially SLOW morning

"It's not a rock it s a Toaster Strudel. Now hurry up and eat it already."

"Those are your sneakers, not algebra. Let's go!"

Boys - running late before school

"People are more likely to be late or early seeing as there is only a one minute window to be right on time."

My students - advanced jazz class this evening

"I've given you the tools to be great! Now it's up to you to do the work. "

Chris - 11:44pm

"Oh god is he asleep?"

Logan 6 years old - in the kitchen doing homework

"I am so proud of you! You're an awesome reader. All you need is some confidence."

Chris - applying wall decals in our bedroom

"Just do it already. Slap it on there. It'll be fine. I promise."
