I write, teach, bake, and drink coffee -- cups after cups. Trying to be productive, I also work as a freelance SEO content writer, copy editor, and module developer. But, at the end of the day, I am a mom of three. Each day with them and my husband is a gift. I'm an old soul who loves Home, the written word & the Giver of Life. Writing keeps me who I am, inspired by the psalmist's very own words: "My heart is stirred by a noble theme, I recite my verses for the king; my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer" (Psalms 45) I write to share the little perspective I have on life, things I've learned, realized, and come to love. These are the kind of conversations that are great to have over cups and cups of coffee -- conversations I like to call "The Cinnamon and Nutmeg of Life." I hope these words make life a bit more bearable. Feel free to share them to others, too! Carpe Diem! #kapekaye

Whether it’s enjoying a home cooked meal, baking pie on a rainy day with the kids, going to the neighborhood café for your favorite cup of coffee with some warm and toasty butter pandesal, trying something new by your favorite barista, or experiencing signature dishes by local chefs and cooks, food helps us appreciate the dailyness of life. It also has its way showing us what else is there to learn about ourselves, the world and the community around us. … More 21 Sweet and Savory Food Memories: Eating My Feelings and Writing About It

Going Back to What Learning Ought to Be

December 10, 2020

If there is a time in my life where all of who I am and do as a teacher makes sense, it is today. With the contact hours entrusted to us as educators, we should make the most of every teaching moment to inspire those in our classrooms to find meaning in their own lives through the things we teach that we hope they learn. May they always “get it.” … More Going Back to What Learning Ought to Be
