The professor is going back to school! There are some seasons where you get to be both the professor... and the student. This fall, I’m so excited to begin my second master’s degree, this time in History.
History has always been more than names and dates to me. It’s the stories, the people, the ideas, and the moments that continue to shape the world we live in today. The more I teach, the more I realize just how much there is still to learn.
So here’s to fresh notebooks, colorful highlighting and sticky notes, stacks of books, late-night reading, and another chapter of learning.
I can’t wait to share the journey—and, of course, bring everything I learn back into the classroom.
Here’s to becoming a student again.

Last week mom and I went Strawberry picking at what has become a beautiful tradition for us. Strawberry picking at Essex Farm started on a very tender day for us many years ago and is now a beloved tradition for mom and I each summer. Thank you Essex Farm for not only delicious strawberries and food but precious memories and special summer traditions that nourish our stomachs and hearts.
You can find the story on Instagram by clicking HERE!
I understand that in the world we live in and the constant reels and pictures it may not seem like a lot, but to me this means so much more than you realize. Every view, like, comment, and share on a reel truly matters more than most people realize. Instagram quietly uses those small signals to decide whether a post should be shown to more people. When you watch, tap the heart, or leave a thoughtful comment, you’re helping the story reach someone else who might need to hear it too. You are also helping support this business of mine- which is HUGE. For a small content creator like me, those simple moments of encouragement from this community make a real difference and help Caravan Sonnet continue to grow in the Instagram space and support me with no cost to you. So please take just a quick moment to click HERE to do this! .
Thank you.
Happy Thursday friends! I hope you have the most wonderful day!
adventure lover? here are a few things that will make your adventures more enjoyable when battling the elements
July 1, 2026
An outdoor, active lifestyle can be a source of continual fulfilment. It can bring about significant health
benefits, both mental and physical. What’s more, it comes in many forms, which means that just about
everyone can find an activity they love.
But if you’re going to be spending time outdoors in challenging conditions, then the challenge should
stem from the activity itself, rather than the inadequacy of the tools you’ve brought along. By investing
just a little in the right gear, you can vastly improve your chances of thriving.
Invest in reliable waterproof outerwear
A great waterproof jacket is an indispensable investment, whether you’re hiking, cycling, or setting up
a tent for the night. It should be breathable enough that you won’t be drenched in sweat after a day
spent physically active, and lightweight enough that it can be easily layered with other gear, and
stowed away when it isn’t being used.
Protect extremities with the right accessories
During very cold weather, it’s your extremities that are often most exposed. These are the areas that
are most vulnerable to frostbite and other problems. For this reason, spending a little on quality hats,
socks and hand protection is more than worthwhile. A good pair of waterproof or heated gloves can
make a world of difference when you’re caught out in the cold.
Choose durable footwear suited to the terrain
The quality of the shoes you’re wearing can make a massive difference, too. They should fit you
properly, and be suited to the kind of terrain you’re going to be hiking through. Hiking shoes should
provide a decent grip of the ground beneath you, while repelling water and supporting your ankle. Fail
to invest here, and you could leave yourself vulnerable to injury and discomfort, whether you’re
running on trails, or merely hiking them.
Plan for visibility, safety and navigation
What if you find yourself out after dark? You can keep yourself visible with the right reflective and
fluorescent clothing, as well as head-mounted torches and other equipment. You’ll also want to be
able to work out where you’re supposed to be going, especially if you’re taking on an unfamiliar
wilderness. This is where the latest GPS systems can be helpful. Don’t rely on your phone if you’re
going to be heading out into a place where the signal is scarce.
