a mostly ballroom dance, but also a bunch of other stuff, blog

about

I own and rock people’s faces off teaching ballroom dancing at Dancers Studio in St. Paul, MN. My husband and I compete professionally in American style and wrangle eight children in our spare time. I’ve been teaching and competing in ballroom dancing for over 25 years and have lots of opinions on it. I am an expert by any means, but there are quite a few dancers who are better than me and I have a solid knowledge of basic technique, so suck it.

Things That Do Not Matter

June 3, 2016

how many times you tell your small kid to "be careful".
how many cloves of garlic a recipe lists.
how much vanilla a recipe suggests.
how many times your snooze alarm goes off .
how many times you think about practicing, without actually doing it.
how many episodes of Jessica Jones you've watched versus the responsibilities you have when you haven't finished the season yet.
what time it is when you start baking cookies, because you are making all those damn cookies.
how hot it is in my bedroom, I still need ALL THE BLANKETS.
how many times you check Facebook when you have real work to do.
