Hey friends,

Facebook is being difficult and won't let me easily change the focus of this page.
🫤
Instead, I'm starting a new page for Ursa Major Tutoring. Mom2MomEd will still exist, but my new page is https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556899911588
(I don't qualify for a custom, named URL yet.)
I'm working on rebranding and refocusing! Mom2MomEd is going to still exist as a blog and this page, but overall, I'm shifting to a tutoring focus.
This includes a new name: Ursa Major Tutoring on both Instagram and Facebook.
📝
My goal is to support students and their parents or other responsible adults in a student's life.
📝
I will also be offering tutoring training, starting with a self paced course on how to become a private tutor.
If you're a new grad, looking for a mid-career change, or maybe a retiree looking to switch to or start private tutoring, this course will be for you!
Be sure to hit FOLLOW to get updates! DM me if you'd like more info!
📝
I'm currently accepting the following students in my private tutoring practice:
➡️ Reading students -- we will practice reading skills together with a focus on helping older struggling readers who don't have diagnosed learning challenges but struggle nonetheless.
➡️ College application essay reviews -- you have a draft of your essay and I help you focus and find tune it.
➡️ Resumes -- your draft is outdated, too wordy, or too long. I'll help you pull it together!
📝
Does any of the above sound like something you need? Send me a DM! I'd love to chat about your needs!

The Power of Not Yet

Big changes are coming!
♥️
We will be moving from a broad parenting and education focus to a more specific private tutoring focus, including teaching others to become private tutors.
♥️
Look for a new name, logo, and more in the weeks ahead!

I should probably post more on social media, but... 🤷
Anyhow, tomorrow, I will start reading one of these with a tutoring student. The kid is extremely interested in the Holocaust. We will be working on reading, comprehending, and writing about literary fiction.
Have you read either of these? They are two of my favorites, despite the subject matter.

Hi friends, although I'll be posting more tutoring focused content in the near future, I've been asked a few times recently IRL about my skincare.

I decided to pop my routine into a blog post:

Friends, big changes are coming soon! I'll be shifting from a broad parenting and education focus to a narrower education (tutoring and coaching) focus in the coming weeks.

This picture is a little sneak peek at a new name and new logo.

PART 2 OF 6: See Part 1 (last post) for details on my messy kitchen and how I'm tackling it without getting overwhelmed!
🏠
While tonight's dinner bakes -- vegetable pot pie -- I've cleaned two of six zones in my kitchen. I'll continue after I drop my kiddo off at their job an hour from now.
🏠
See Part 1 for three first zone's before and after. Swipe ⬅️ to see second zone's before and after.

Do you break rooms down into smaller zones? How do you go about getting easy wins in your housekeeping?

I started a new temp job this week -- on top of running two Etsy shops, multiple blogs, and tutoring -- and my house has fallen apart.
🏠
I will get into a routine, eventually, but I also know that I'll be using the weekends to reset things.
🏠
While making dinner -- pot pie (see a few posts back for my meal plan) -- I decided to start on the kitchen, but it's so messy (partially from making dinner tonight), that it feels overwhelming.
🏠
I'm taking a page from my friend and turning my kitchen into zones.
🏠
I need an easy win, so I cleaned up the simplest, least messy section first. Swipe ⬅️ to see the before and then swipe ⬅️ again to see the after.
