  • Happy Easter to my favorite peeps! 🐣 We celebrated Resurrection Sunday with our church family before having a quiet day at home. 🏠 We ended the evening with some Target ceramic egg painting and chocolate candy eating. 🍫 I’d say it was a pretty good day. 🤣 {Can you tell which egg belongs to the toddler and which egg is mine?} . . . #downriverresources #raedunn #raedunnfinds #raedunnteacher #eastersunday #easterdecor #teachermom #targetteachers #homeschoolmom #atargetmom #toddleractivities #toddleractivity

  • “Help me want the Healer more than the healing.” This song lyric was placed on my two-year-old’s lips right after we lost our baby in January. Out of nowhere, she would repeat this line. I knew it was a God wink. 😉 —————————————————————— That has surely been my prayer in this difficult season. 🙏🏻 My husband and I recently took a little getaway and went to this little chapel. Chimayo, New Mexico, is known for two things: holy dirt and red chile, served separately. 😉 —————————————————————— The El Santuario de Chimayo is considered the most important pilgrimage site in the United States. ✝️ The first miracle was said to occur here more than 200 years ago when a light burst from the hillside and was found to be a crucifix in the earth. When the crucifix was taken away, it kept mysteriously returning to the same spot. 🌎 —————————————————————— The dirt is considered to be holy as many believe it has miraculous healing powers over a wide variety of ailments and afflictions. Crutches, photographs, and offerings pack the shrine walls. They’re both in testimony and petition {swipe to see more.} —————————————————————— Over 300,000 of pilgrims visit El Santuario each year, especially over Easter Week. I hope you enjoyed this New Mexico— Easter Week Trivia. Thanks for joining me on this journey after miscarriage too. You point me to Him, the Healer. ❤️ . . . . #downriverresources #miscarriagematters #ihadamiscarriage #nmtrue #chimayo #iteachtoo #teachertalk #teachermom #teachersofinstagram #teacher #easterweekend #elsantuariodechimayo #santuariodechimayo #goodfriday

  • Down River. What’s in the name? Down River describes the journey of my life and path I wish to offer other elementary school teachers. It’s my passion to keep teachers afloat! 🚣‍♀️ —————————————————————— Have you ever had a year when you just feel like you’re drowning? You can’t keep your head above water? 🌊 Oh, friend, I had a year where I was consumed with these feelings and led me into a really bad place mentally! 😑 It was out of this desperation and depression that {eventually} my passion was identified, though I had no idea that my struggles and challenges would be used to create my calling. {He knows best!} 🙏🏻 —————————————————————— I moved Down River {from New Mexico to Texas} several years ago upon the engagement to my now husband. All of my teaching and coaching positions in El Paso have been in schools pretty close to the Rio Grande river and the US-Mexico border. 💧 My first year in El Paso was probably the worst year ever due to several challenges and circumstances that were unexpected; however, it turned out to be the best year too. 🤷🏻‍♀️ {Funny how that works!} I LOVED teaching the grade level I was forced into teaching {after my original class was closed on day 10 of school due to low enrollment} and had great mentors who challenged me to grow. 🌱 —————————————————————— I fell in love with learning new content that was originally out of my comfort zone and the specificity of learning standards which has become an obsessive passion. 💗 Over ten thousand teachers have kept afloat by using diverse + rigorous resources and teaching ideas from Down River Resources. 😮 I’m forever grateful to those who have come along and partnered with me. 🤠 ❤️🙏🏻 —————————————————————— Tell me: What does Down River represent to you? . . . . #elpaso #downriverresources #texasteachers #teacher #teachers #teacherspayteachers #teachertalk #teachersofinstagram #teachersofig #igteacher #iteachtoo

  • It’s been a few weeks since you’ve seen my face. My husband and I took a much needed vacation. It was a guilt-free, toddler-free two-day getaway. 💥 —————————————————————— It’s just shy of three months since we lost our baby. It’s been a rollercoaster of emotions with endless to-do lists of tasks from both of our jobs. It was such a relief to put down our phones and computers, stroll through downtown Santa Fe and eat delicious Northern New Mexican meals. 🙏🏻 —————————————————————— What made this trip even more special was we got to visit the location where my husband proposed to me seven years ago. 💍 —————————————————————— I usually go to the bathroom to escape reality, but trips are good too! 🤣 —————————————————————— Tell me: Where do you go to escape? —————————————————————— #downriverresources #downriverresourcesontheroad #nmtrue #newmexico #teacheronbreak #teacherspayteachers #teacherauthor #teacherblogger #momlife #teacherlife #toddlermom #teacher #teachersofinstagram #teachersonig #santafe
