If you're like many of us and sometimes need reminders to take care of yourself, especially mentally and emotionally, you might benefit from creating your own Emotional Toolbox.
Olio #16: Cornell Notes
What the heck is the Cornell Note-taking System? And where was it all the years I was going to school, taking so many disorganized notes?
Olio #15: 10 Things to Love About Working at Home
Though there are some drawbacks to working at home (work/life balance? clocking out? foreign concepts), by far, the good outweighs the bad. Here are ten good reasons to work at home.
Olio #14: Jane Austen Mad Libs*—Sense and Sensibility
Jane Austen Mad Libs*. Because why not. This was a very popular post last time (when I did a Mad Libs-type activity for Pride and Prejudice), so this time around, it's Sense and Sensibility! This book was Jane Austen's first published work, and was attributed to her only by saying it was "By a Lady".
Olio #13: Andrew Carnegie, Helping Those Who Help Themselves
Andrew Carnegie. Steel magnate. Important man of the 19th century. Immigrant. Philanthropist. Fascinating guy. Wish I could have met him.

Humor, history, poignant essays, pop culture, adorable crafts, contemplative ideas... These are a few of my favorite blogs.

Used in education and teaching, Bloom's Taxonomy describes gradually deeper levels of understanding, and can be used in pretty much any subject, including math, science, history, literature, and more.
Olio #3: Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs
I mostly think of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs as a mental exercise. There is a lot of truth in it, but it is more food for thought and discussion.
Olio #2: Jane Austen Mad Libs*—Pride and Prejudice
Jane Austen Mad Libs*. Because why not. If I run out of other ideas, I may make this a semi-regular feature, at least making it through her six major works. And maybe some other public domain works. Let me know if you have any requests!
Olio #1: Winnie the Pooh Characters: My Take
Wherein I give my take on the many characters of 'Winnie the Pooh'. The ones that "everyone" likes I don't necessarily like. And the "universally" reviled characters, well, sometimes I understand where they are coming from.
