Exploring
About
I love to explore, from science adventures like space camp and microgravity to getting to know the countryside while living in England. Posts about exploring can be found on this page.
Introducing Mrs Wilson Science YouTube Channel and Reflecting on Dr Abrams Space Across the Curriculum PD
Introducing Mrs Wilson Science YouTube Channel! I am so excited to introduce the new Mrs Wilson Science YouTube channel! I’ve been posting a few videos here and there to YouTube for years, but I’d always used my personal channel. I thought it was time to get a bit more professional and to separate personal and … Read More “Introducing Mrs Wilson Science YouTube Channel and Reflecting on Dr Abrams Space Across the Curriculum PD” »

Turning 40
Somehow, today I turned 40. I don’t know what I was expecting. I don’t feel 40, but what does 40 even feel like? When you’re a child, you think people who are 40 must be old and grown up. I don’t feel old or grown up. On the other hand, I do feel like I’ve … Read More “Turning 40” »
Weekend walks in the country
We tend to spend a lot of our weekends exploring the countryside these days, especially if it is a sunny day. Back in Georgia, we didn’t do much walking in the country mainly because it was really hot most of the year, even in the higher elevations. In England, the main problem is rain, so … Read More “Weekend walks in the country” »
Grocery shopping: US vs. UK
The overwhelming winner from Friday’s poll was to hear about differences in grocery shopping, so here are my observation based on my favorite daily grocery store in the US (Publix), and my current local grocery store (Sainsbury’s). Grocery shopping is not one of my favorite pastimes, but it’s necessary, so I go when I must. … Read More “Grocery shopping: US vs. UK” »
A Transatlantic move with a dog and two cats
Moving can be stressful. Moving to another country can be very stressful. Moving to another country with a large dog and two cats in tow can be incredibly stressful! Getting ready for the big move to England was an adventure, and this part of the story focuses on getting my dog (Devon, golden retriever), two … Read More “A Transatlantic move with a dog and two cats” »
I want adventure in the great wide somewhere…
This weekend, we finally went to the movie theater to see Beauty and the Beast. (I’ll leave comparisons of US vs UK movie going experiences for another day.) Beaty and the Beast has always been my favorite Disney animated movie since first seeing it in high school. I even had it on VHS (and have … Read More “I want adventure in the great wide somewhere…” »
Adjusting to an alternate reality
Since June (2016), I’ve been adjusting to a “new normal” (one of my husband’s favorite expressions). Perhaps I’ve been reading too much fantasy/scifi lately, but I feel like I’ve been plucked from my normal, comfortable reality to a slightly different, alternate one. There are so many things about living in England that are the same … Read More “Adjusting to an alternate reality” »
Big changes ahead
I’m not sure how it’s been almost a year since my last post. That’s just embarrassing. It’s been a transitional year, and I suppose that partly explains it. So what’s been happening? My husband is from England. He’s been in the US since 1999, and he’s been incredibly home sick for a few years now. … Read More “Big changes ahead” »
The dream is alive: A passion for space #AprilBlogADay
Disclaimer: In this post, I share my passions, my dreams, and my faith. As you read it, you may decide I am completely crazy. Aristotle said, “No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.” Maybe he was right. This is also one of the most personal and revealing posts I have ever … Read More “The dream is alive: A passion for space #AprilBlogADay” »
