Kermit Says: Motivational Monday

Happy Monday, friends! It's been a while since my last Kermit Says... post, and between end-of-year events, grading, and a very contagious sickness, I hope you'll understand why I've been absent.

Dear Kermit: Sex on Prom Night (or Nah)?

Happy Tuesday, friends! This week is dedicated to all things prom.

Take a listen to what Kermit Says... has to say on having sex on prom night (or not). Check out… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Sex on Prom Night (or Nah)?

Kermit Says: Motivational Monday

Happy Monday, friends! If you've been keeping up with us on Instagram (@kermitsays1), you know I've been spending the better part of the weekend recovering from some severe tummy troubles.

Kermit Says: Stop the Stigma

A little over a year ago, I was traveling in Brazil with a great group of sophomores. While debriefing about the day's events, I received a text from a student in the States who asked if I’d spoken to another student to whom I was and still am quite close. At that point I hadn’t, and… Continue reading Kermit Says: Stop the Stigma

Wellness Wednesday: Stress-Free Mornings

If you're a fully-functioning human being, you probably know that getting up in the morning can be a massive, stressful struggle (especially if it's a Monday). I think, however, if you come up with a plan routine, you can figure out what works best for you to reduce your stress, evoke peace, and boost your… Continue reading Wellness Wednesday: Stress-Free Mornings

Dear Kermit: Managing Anxiety

Happy Tuesday, friends! Since entering the wonderful world of private school teaching, I have noticed my students are dealing with a type of stress, exhaustion, pressure, competition, and anxiety I don't think existed a few years ago. For some, it's debilitating. For others, it's embarrassing. But I want you to know anxiety isn't something that should… Continue reading Dear Kermit: Managing Anxiety

After recently talking to a number of my former students who currently find themselves… Continue reading Kermit Says: Motivational Monday

Kermit’s Cup of Tea: Sunday Spotlight (Mother’s Day Edition)

Happy Sunday, friends! Instead of the usual Friday Finding for this week, I'm spotlighting and thanking mothers: biological moms, adopted moms, play moms, working moms, single moms, living moms, moms who've passed away, moms who are separated from their children through death or distance, teacher moms, church moms, sisters, cousins, and friends. Today, and quite frankly everyday, we… Continue reading Kermit’s Cup of Tea: Sunday Spotlight (Mother’s Day Edition)
