Google Maps doesn't say, "Hey, you're going the wrong way!" when you take a wrong turn. It simply adjusts your route and tells you the next turn you should take.

Perhaps your route just got redirected and it might take longer and further to get there, but guess what... You're still on track.

Picture of cleaning supplies. Shelf says $1.50.

Picture of toy aisle with sign saying toys $1.75.

Remember when Dollar Tree used to joke about price checking since everything was $1. Not anymore. First everything went up to $1.25 and now it depends on the item.

This week's episode of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds was a love letter to the fans and to Gene Roddenberry. I truely enjoyed it.

As teachers and students prepare for the new school year, this video by Duke University professor Aaron Dinin is amazing.

Trees lose their leaves every year, yet the still stand tall and wait for better days to come.

Sometimes we shed things we thought we needed. That’s not weakness. It’s the quiet power of patience. Holding space for growth even when it’s not visible yet.

Set of purple Dr. Grips. One pen and one pencil. Pencil has cover off the eraser. Both show signs of wear and tear.

If you haven't tried these before, Dr. Grip has been my favorite for years. I still have my original set including mechanical pencil version (no longer sold). The grips were originally designed for people with arthritis, but they’re wonderful for folks with motor skill needs or in my case… lefty!

Frixion Clicker pens, G2 pens, and Dr. Grip pens. All in assorted colors.

I kind of went fangirl last month at the #PilotPen booth. The guy gave me a new Dr. Grip (my favorite pen) and his business card. I reached out to thank him and also made a punny joke that I would love to pilot their new line of pens he mentioned coming soon. Today, I got a box full of pens.

Every sunrise is an invitation to brighten someone's day.

Let’s show up with kindness, even in the small ways.

Kyrpto stole the movie. He might have been CGI (animal safety from those stunts) but he looked and acted real. Just a perfect pooch. #Superman

I got #BananaBall tickets. Can't wait to surprise my nephews with the tickets for September at Yankee Stadium!

Sticker that says "Cents and Sensibility" with a personified coin. Green nametag ribbon "Cent-sational"

I've never heard of Banzai before, but I did a double take when I walked past their booth last week during #ISTE2025. Check out this sticker, it perfectly describes why my handle is Making CENTS... It started as a couponing blog that’s since closed shop, but the name stuck.

Your next move matters more than your last mistake.

Your last mistake isn’t the headline. It’s your next move that shapes the story. Getting better isn’t about being perfect, it’s about persistence, presence, and the courage to course-correct.

Independence Day Born in 1776... Built on hope.

Imagine if social media existed in 1776. We’d probably be lighting fireworks on July 2nd instead. John Adams thought that would be the day remembered as Independence Day.

How did you stay cool as a kid during the heat waves of summer?

Remember when summer meant water balloon wars, chasing each other through sprinklers, and those epic hose battles that left the whole block soaked?

Met my #GoogleMentee in real life, @amiereed.bsky.social #ISTE2025

A kindness coin printed in navy filament. It says Kindness Coin you made me smile. The emoji in the middle is of a winking face sticking out its tongue.

I'm standing in front of the poster display speaking with two female attendees. You can see the back of their heads.

Poster session setup featuring printed slides displayed on a backdrop behind a table. Table includes 3D printed samples related to the presentation. Slide text is partially visible; full slide content and corresponding alt text available at bit.ly/emotionalresilienceISTE.

Had a great time presenting a poster on *emotional resilience* through 3D printing today. The conversations were nonstop and so inspiring.

I'll need to look into it.

Yikes. Good to know.

Same. It's for personal use, not a classroom so I'm not looking at the edu vendors. Bambu is sold at Micro Center, along with a few other resellers or direct.
