Post-Teaching Break + A New Favorite Work Bag

 Well, my long-term substitute job wrapped up on September 19—just in time for our Fall Break! We get a full week off from school, and I’m definitely ready for some recovery time after teaching 7th grade math. ๐Ÿ˜…

I turned in the keys they let me keep for the week, and now it’s back to one-day gigs for a while. Honestly, I’m pretty happy about that! The flexibility is nice, and it’s a welcome change of pace.

In my last post, I mentioned a new work bag I had ordered—and I finally got to try it out. I really like the Emma & Kate bag! It’s super roomy and holds almost everything I need. One thing I love is how it stretches open so you can find things at a glance (weirdly, it reminds me of a diaper—in the best way possible!).

There’s also a drawstring opening on the side that gives you quick access, which is really handy… unless you’re caught in bad weather. ๐ŸŒง️ Just something to keep in mind! It’s probably not ideal for carrying a laptop or iPad though—the fit is a bit tight. My notebook doesn’t fit well, which was a little disappointing, but overall I’m still happy with it.
