Dude! That's so awesome! Consider the kid version of me super jealous. It would have been so damn cool to have one of my teachers do a whole Star Wars week for my class, so I hope all those tiny Jedi are firmly calling you their favorite teacher now. I definitely would be.
I don't know if they're calling me their favorite teacher, but I'm glad that they all seemed to have enjoyed it. Anytime I can create some new tiny Jedis, though, I am absolutely down for it.
I fully support your idea of doing a Star Wars week and your movie choices, but seriously... You organized lightsaber duels and didn't invite me????
I didn't organize anything, sunshine. You know how kids are. They saw the duel between Luke and Vader, found some sticks and BAM! Lightsaber duels on the playground, and me trying to split the kids up when it just explodes into a genuine fight.
Love - what’s your love language?
Probably quality time and acts of service. I’m a big believer in the little things — remembering details, checking in, quietly showing up when it matters.
🌸🌼 SPRING ASKS 🌼🌸
Hobby - what hobbies do you have or want to get into?
I’ve always loved music, obviously anybody who knows me knows that — songwriting, piano, making playlists for literally every mood imaginable and cycling through them all in a twenty minute time span because I can't pick what I want to listen to because they're all so good. I read a lot too. Since having coming home, I've had a lot more time to catch up on my reading so I'm making a slight dent in my TBR list. And lately I’ve been trying to get back into gardening without accidentally killing everything in sight; I don't know how successful I've been, but like I tell my students — you'll never know if you don't try. I think I’d also like to get better at photography someday. Nothing super professional, just capturing the little moments in life before they're gone. The kind you don’t realize you’ll miss until later.
🌸🌼 SPRING ASKS 🌼🌸
Blossom - what’s your favorite flower?
Sunflowers, always. They’re bright, warm, and a little stubborn — always turning toward the light no matter what. I think there’s something really resilient and beautiful about that.

Since we're near the end of the year and don't have much left, I decided to do a Star Wars Week with my class — showing movies on the 4th, 5th, and the 6th. Episode IV: wonder and excitement Episode V: lightsaber duels at recess Episode VI: officially lost control of my classroom I started this just thinking it would be a fun, low-key thing for the end of the school year. Instead, I now have a room full of tiny Jedi, one very passionate Sith Lord, and at least six kids making “woosh woosh” noises at all times. I regret nothing.
I was talking about research for essays today and mentioned how we used to rely on encyclopedias and actual library cards...cue the blank stares. One kid asked, “You mean, you couldn't just google it?” I almost laughed out loud. Explaining that you had to physically pull books off shelves and write down citations by hand felt like a full-on history lecture. Honestly, I didn’t even have it in me to try and explain the card catalog system too. It’s wild realizing some of these kids have no idea what research looked like to all of us growing up.
See, this would be the perfect opportunity to teach your kids about genuine research, though. Especially if you have the older kids. Give them an essay, but make it a requirement that they research like we used to. Make them go analog; heck you could even make it extra credit if they write it by hand or use a typewriter or something like that. Make the assignment research on the card catalogues or development of encyclopedias or even how research has evolved over time.
Matt: it got your brain a'thinking, did it not? Matt: how about another thing to mull over? Or at least give you the heebie jeebies... but the whole catacombs in Paris. That's weird right?
Marley: Seriously, man?! My brain is already working overtime because of you 😭 Marley: And okay...the catacombs are definitely weird, but also kind of fascinating? The history of it all — that’s incredible. I feel like I’d want to go just to understand it better. Marley: ...but also, absolutely NOT alone. Because the second it gets too quiet down there, I WILL start convincing myself something is watching me and that’s how I end up running back towards the stairs like my life depends on it. Marley: But knowing me, I’d absolutely get lost down there, so now I’m stuck, being haunted and directionally challenged. Marley: So thank you. Thank you so much for that mental image.
Okay. So.
A little bird told me one of the lower level magisterial district court judges is retiring this year, and there's going to be a seat up for election soon. Like. This year. In November.
On a scale of one to ten, how much of a stupid idea would it be for me to try to get on the ballot?
I think you'd be a great judge! Would that make your work load heavier or a bit lighter? I figure it would make it a bit lighter since you wouldn't have to be prepping cases and stuff like that. You just spend your whole day listening to people argue their own cases. Or is there more to it? What kind of cases would you be taking if you got the seat?
@ambersrose replied to your post “( from @marleyxroses ) Happy birthday, baby sis! I hope...”:
Okay, no, we are NOT having a sibling lunch without me. 😤
@jacksonrose replied to your post “( from @marleyxroses ) Happy birthday, baby sis! I hope...”:
@ambersrose It's not your birthday, go away 😜
Well, I was going to say what Jackson said just... not as harshly. But hey, you're invited too, so long as you bring us presents! 😁
Okay, well it was supposed to be a birthday brunch which is why I didn't invite you, Ambs. Just like I took you out by yourself last year. 😜 That being said, as long as the twins are okay with it then we can transform it to a sibling lunch to celebrate their birthday.
Alcove: do you like going to the beach or do you prefer the pool?
The beach, definitely. There's just something comforting about sitting and listening to the waves.

Honestly, it’s been good—quieter than NYC, that’s for sure, but there’s a certain charm to it once you start noticing the little things. People seem friendly enough, too, which is a nice change of pace. How about you—are you settling back in okay, or still figuring out what’s new?
Oh yeah, Ashford Valley is bound to be a lot quieter than a big city like New York. I moved to Los Angeles after high school, and it was such an adjustment. Everything just felt louder, faster, bigger even. Like the city never really stopped moving; it didn't really seem like anything quieted down until I moved out into one of the suburbs, and even then it wasn't the same as being here. Coming back here’s been strange in the best way though. Familiar, mostly. A few new spots, a few changes, but it still feels like it hasn't really changed too much. I think I’m settling in okay — just relearning the rhythm of things. Hopefully the town has treated you well so far.
See, exactly! By that logic, soup is only allowed when it’s raining and smoothies are banned after 10 a.m. Absolute chaos. And honestly? I would not be mad at custard for breakfast—sounds kind of luxurious, actually. If dairy really has working hours, I’d love to see the schedule, because milk clearly didn’t get the memo about my midnight cravings. And I’m not even arguing cereal is a health choice at that hour, it’s a comfort choice, which feels way more important. So now I’ve gotta ask—what’s your go-to “I forgot to eat like a functional adult” cereal? I feel like that’s very telling.
Comfort absolutely outranks whatever imaginary food rules people invent. Midnight cereal isn’t trying to win a nutrition award, it’s just there to emotionally support you, and frankly that’s a very important job. As for my “forgot to eat like a functional adult” cereal? Cinnamon Toast Crunch, no hesitation. It’s pure nostalgia and chaos in a bowl. Though if I’m pretending to have my life together, I’ll reach for either Strawberry or Honey Nut Cheerios and act like that was the plan all along. What about you?
Matt: What? What did I do?!?! 🤣
Marley: You know EXACTLY what you did Marley: How dare you make me actually think about something like this because now I can't think about anything else.
That's MOTHER BRIDGERTON
Do you like flowers? If so, which ones are your favorites?
Of course I like flowers! Who doesn't like flowers. I honestly don't think I've ever met someone who didn't like flowers; allergic, sure, but never outright 'I don't like them'. Back to the point, though, sunflowers are my favorites. They’re sturdy and bright and a little imperfect — and they keep turning toward the light no matter what. They feel like proof that you can grow through hard seasons and still choose warmth. Plus they just look like happiness with roots.

How important is your family’s approval of your significant other?
It's important in the sense that I'd want my family to approve of my significant other, but ultimately my decisions are my own. If they heavily disapproved of someone, though, I would take it heavily into consideration to see what they are seeing.
💌 VALENTINE'S DAY ASKS! 💌
