Be Better With Failure & Other Reasons Pottery Is Good For You

3/26/2019

Working with Clay
​Why it’s good for you
There are many benefits to working with clay:
  • It’s a pain reliever.
  • Clay reduces stress - all that manipulation of clay works magic.
  • It exercises hands, wrists, and arms - who knew exercising could be fun?
  • Exploration and experimentation are also good for your soul and overall well-being.

Those are just a few of my favourites, but there are thousands of articles online that will tell you why pottery is good for you - as a perfectionist, as an introvert, extrovert, kid, teen, and anything in-between.

I've put together a few of my favourite articles below:

Wishing For Warmer Weather In Athens: The Best Sangria Recipe...Ever

2/14/2019

Hey! Did you guys notice that it's cold and REALLY snowy outside?

If you didn't then there's no way you're living in Brockville. The weather has been annoying (at best!). 

It's not a big surprise that I'm craving warmer days. My kayaks sit in the garage looking mournful whenever I go in, and I feel bad whenever I think of my bees (we lost a hive over winter). 

You're over this weather too, right? If not, I'm not sure we can be friends anymore!

In an attempt to remember some of those summer feelings, I dug through my recipes (plus a few contributions from my students) and found this beauty of an idea!

Summer Sangria in winter?? Count me in!
