I started working from home in March when the Covid-19 Pandemic became a national concern […] -
surviving the holidays 101
by @paceamorebella December 20, 2020Holiday Hardships I don’t think it comes as a shock that the holidays can be a joyous time full of love and laughter, but that it can also be a time where greater anxiety, depression, and trauma surfaces and/or re-surfaces. Some individuals may not have intact family relations. So when it comes time to paying […] -
How-To holiday DYI Ornaments: Eight Ornament Designs
by @paceamorebella December 6, 2020This holiday season I decided to craft my own Christmas ornaments. I’ve always felt the best gifts are those that come from the heart. Meaning, Christmas is not about the quantity of the gift, but rather the quality of it. Does the gift mean anything to you or them? Did you put thought, time, or […] -
Happy Fall Y’all!
by @paceamorebella October 4, 2020Can you believe it’s already October, aka spooky season? I know I can’t. Summer seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye, but I honestly don’t mind. In fact, fall is my favorite season of all! I know this year looks a little different with a global pandemic and the chaos that’s unfolded with […] -
Comet and me – Becoming a Dog mom
“Before you get a dog, you can’t quite imagine what living with one might be like; afterward, you can’t imagine living any other way.” –Caroline Knapp May 23, 2020, I became a dog mom to a happy and healthy Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy (I totally sound like a new mom, huh?). Evan and I drove […] -
Pin It! Pinteresting my Perfect Future Home
by @paceamorebella June 6, 2020Originally Published May 10, 2020 Have you ever caught yourself scrolling through Pinterest to save pins for your picture-perfect home? Well I have. And lately while quarantining in a stuffy small apartment, I have found myself thinking about how I would want to design and furnish my future residence. Feel free to follow along as […] -
The Bucket List
by @paceamorebella June 6, 2020Originally Published April 18, 2020 “Oh the places you will go” -Dr. Seuss There are three types of people in this world- your savers, spenders, and experiencers. For example, my mother is a saver, because she likes to deposit that hard earned cash into her savings. She doesn’t eat out much, engage in retail therapy, […] -
Do It For The EnneaGRAM!
by @paceamorebella June 6, 2020Originally Published April 5, 2020. The Enneagram was created in 1997 by Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson as a means to understand ourselves and others on a deeper level. Personality Assessments Let me start by saying I am a big proponent of personality assessements. I enjoy the process of taking the test and finding […] -
COVID-19 You Can’t Spell Virus Without U and I
by @paceamorebella June 6, 2020Originally Published March 28, 2020 What day of social distancing is it anyways? With everything being flipped upside down and having to adjust routine, this time in isolation has not been easy, but necessary. Experts say the best way to combat the spread of coronavirus is through distancing, as some people can be asymptomatic. Of […] -

I will create a separate post for that because it is […] -
Week 15
The last week of classes! How fast it went, yet so slow at times as well. This week in class we didn’t really have virtual meetings due to several different circumstances with weather and allergy season. This allowed for me to focus on my Methodology project. For this I created a story map about the […] -
Final Summary: Final Project
I guess this is my last blog post for this class. It’s kinda sad. I’ve really enjoyed this class and all the assignments we’ve done and all that I’ve learned. I definitely had the most fun with this final project though. It incorporated a bunch of the skills I’ve used throughout the semester which was super fun. Here was my process: I started with taping up a sheet in my living room to use as a backdrop for the close-up shots. I then had my boyfriend help me film all the clips using a tripod and iPhone attachment. We had […] -
Week 13
During the week we continued to talk about what our plan was for the Methodology project. Honestly, though I attended the Twitch sessions, I was so busy with my education classes with writing lesson plans, that I did not get much of a chance to continue to look at the project. However, I am pretty […] -
Final Project Ideas Pt. 2
So I have spent the last week thinking about different final project ideas when just now the best idea just popped into my head. I want to either create or recreate an iconic 80s dance video or music video. I would want to recreate the outfits, props, and any videography. This would let me incorporate a bunch of the different topics we’ve covered in class such as video editing, audio, and design. I would really really want to do this idea because I also think it would be something really fun to help get my mind off everything going on […] -
Shelter in Place & Start Recording
This week’s overview was interesting. I read the Ebert essay and even read another that was hyperlinked within his that details the discovery of a chair movement within Citizen Kane that he has missed for 30 years of doing shot by shots. I echoed this essay’s idea to my husband and he laughed, telling me […] -
Street Parking is Always Open
I laughed at this idea because this is basically my everyday life. In this assignment, you record a workout and share it with the world. This is something I normally do multiple times a week to stay accountable with my Street Parking family. When my brother visits, we make it a point to do a […] -
One Time Around the Sun
I thought it would be fun to make a compilation of the pictures and video clips I loved that most from my daughter’s first year. I used open source music and used an app on my phone to upload my photos and videos. It allowed me to sort the photos and videos chronologically for the […] -
Vincent and the Doctor Video Essay
For this assignment I wanted to work with an iconic Doctor Who scene I knew I would be able to find online. This assignment started out simple. I downloaded the 4k Video Downloader and obtained the file for the video I wanted to use. I watched it and wrote a script for the video essay […] -
Letting my Grade Slip
I have been doing my best to keep up in school with all the changes happening, but I’ve allowed myself to fall behind in this class due to my grade in others. That isn’t a good solution and I’ve decided to spend as much time as possible changing that and catching up. Here’s to that. […] -
Listening in on You
The only radio show I had the time to tune in for was a late night one after I put my daughter to sleep. It was about Social Media being integrated into events that occurred in the 80s. I found the concept was original and the format they used was pretty neat. As opposed to […] -
Video Essay: Sixteen Candles
To start off week 9, we had to do some research on video editing and what goes into the final picture. I enjoyed watching the videos from “Every Picture Is a Frame” and feel like I learned a lot. After doing some research we were suppose to take a video that relates to our theme in some way and analyze it with the information we learned from our research. I decided to use the ending scene from the movie “Sixteen Candles” because its one of the most iconic movies from the 80s. I was able to download the ending scene […] -
Radio Show Reflection
It was so fun listening to everyone’s radio shows this week! I could tell all the hardwork that went into each show. The one radio show that I am going to be doing my reflection on is “Social Media: an 80s Rewrite”. They decided to take some major events that happened during the 80s and explore what it would have been like if there had been social media, like Twitter, during the time it happened. As someone who is thinking about wanting to do something with social media as a career later in life, I found this topic especially interesting. […] -
Future Project Ideas
There are so many fun things we could do with our 80s theme. The 80s was such a fun time in history with so much going on and happening. I think one of the most prominent things I think of when I think of the 80s is all the stuff. By stuff I mean toys, clothes, etc. I think something fun we could do as a project would be to create a real commercial for a product that was popular in the 80s. Here is a video I found with a whole bunch of different commercials that came out around […] -
Daily Create
Following class theme. -
My friend, don’t be a jerk.
This week was just… weird. Anyway, my daughter has hand foot mouth and its been terrible, so I completely forgot the TDCs until Thursday. Thankfully that left me with enough time to complete the two required. Daily Creates (2) For this one, I’m not sure why I immediately thought of a chalk board when I […] -
Disturbing the peace? I got thrown out of a window!
This week feels like a blur with all the wild things happening. I visited my parents during Spring Break and interviewed my mother to learn about her experience during the 1980s. That was fun. I spent the end of Spring Break working on the radio show. This involved getting familiar with the program I was […] -
I wanna be sedated
This week proved to be rather tough for me. Midterms were a true challenge. With this being my best graded class, I unfortunately had to sacrifice some of the time I would have normally spent on these assignments to study for my two science courses. I’m finding it really hard to study for my biology […]
