Putting On My Cybersleuthing Hat

It began with a Google Search for Hannah Martin... nothing applicable 

Then I tried Hannah Martin Regina, with the hope she was from Regina... nothing applicable 

    This is when I realized I was really going to have to put my Cybersleuth Hat on and get down to business. Next, I went to Twitter and found Hannah's account.


    I was super interested in her tweets as I scrolled through. Both mine and Hannahs's interests seem to align greatly. First is our passion for #inclusiveedcution. As an Inclusive Education minor, I always feel a connection to people who have studied the same fields as I have. Next, Hannah shared in her Twitter bio that she is an animal lover. This was yet another interest we shared. Finding Hannah's Twitter was the easiest for me as we already followed one another. This was too easy, so I tried to dig a little deeper. Without going into too much detail, I was able to find that Hannah followed 10 of the same people I did on Instagram. This wasn't just public accounts we shared interests in, we actually know some of the people. The world is truly a small world. Even though Hannah's Instagram was a private account, I was able to view it quite easily. Thanks to Hannah for partnering with me on this activity! It was super fun!

    As I did this assignment, I began to think back to the How One Tweet Can Ruin Your Life by Jon Ronson Ted Talk. In this video, he states, "The smartest way to survive is to go back to being voiceless". This quote got me right in the feels (as the kids say). It made me connect to one of my childhood peers. From the time I can remember, my peer wanted to be a lawyer. In recent years, she has begun her dream and entered law school. Within the last few months, she has gone completely incognito by deleting all her social media accounts. I have not had the opportunity to chat with her about this change but through conversations with my friends who are closer to her, they have shared that deleting social media is easier for her with her future career choice. Therefore, the quote "The smartest way to survive is to go back to being voiceless" by Jon Ronson is a fabulous comparison to the real-life connection I shared.

Big Move = Learning to Garden

    For the last 3 summers, I have subscribed to a local florist's weekly flower subscription. The weekly drop off's were such an uplifting joy. This summer is a little bit different for me. This past March, my boyfriend and I made the move out to his family farm. There are so many pros to "farm life" but my favorite... the garden space!  I love flowers and I want to grow my own produce. Growing my own produce will be more cost-effective and allow for a stronger appreciation of the food we eat.   This is my first time ever having a garden.  I didn't have a garden space at my childhood home or in the extremely small suite we lived in prior to our move to the farm. I didn't have a garden space at my childhood home. I have never gardened any fruit or vegetable. I have gardened flowers in the past but on a WAY smaller scale than I will this summer. I have attached a photo below of the size of my future garden (and the gorgeous Saskatchewan skies).       I also hav

Maintaining My Flower Pots

 Hi all!     I recently have done a bit of research in regard to maintaining my flower pots since it's the only crop I currently have right now. Four of the flower pots I have created have petunias in them. I have come to realize they have quite a bit of maintenance. I have found myself outside slowly picking away at my flower pots to perfect them. After some thought, I realized I actually had zero ideas about what I was doing so this is how this blog bost came to bloom (see what I did there).  - What is the correct way to deadhead petunias?       Thanks to Homes and Garden ,  I know all the steps of how to deadhead a Petunia flower. Although it's pretty straightforward, there are some techniques. The correct way to deadhead a Petunia begins with ensuring the flower is dead. If the flower is drooping and strived up, it is time to remove the dead flower.  First, you will need to decide if you want to remove the dead flower with your fingers or a garden tool such as scissors.

Gardening Is My JAM

Welcome back!     As I write this blog post, the sun is shining down on my empty and wet garden bed. In the last 4 days, we have received roughly 2 inches of rain. I had planned to put my garden in this past weekend but, the rain has resulted in a very muddy garden space. The forecast for the next few days is calling for sunshine so I am hoping the sunny days that approach will dry my garden up. If this is the case, the garden will be put in this weekend! So while the rain poured down, I decided to do some planning and research for my garden space. For my planning, I used the Google Tool, Jamboard . So, here is my review:     I may be one of the only Education Students who has never used Jamboard. I have heard about Jamboard within classes and classroom experience but I have never created one. As I navigated around this new tool, I found a few pros and cons. Pros: - I enjoyed the fact that Jamboard had a Google Image extension. I am a HUGE visual learner and will often use photos or dr
