Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 04/10/2025Tried out plums in my peach ricotta cake and it was a success for our mahjong group (even though everyone mahj’d but me 😞)! Baking has been so helpful to process everything going on and some big new responsibilities at work. Also thrilled that our hydrangeas are going in the ground! 010

Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 22/06/2025In the midst of all the horrors, I did manage to escape a little bit into a really delightful book, A House With Good Bones, by T. Kingfisher. Highly recommend, especially if you’re from the South! I leave these three excellent quotes as offerings… 000

Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 10/05/2025Graduation is my favorite day! So proud of my students and love celebrating with my colleagues! Great WL and ESOL teachers ready to take on the world! 000
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 04/05/2025Super cathartic baking for our EoY department party. It’s always amazing to celebrate w/ wonderful colleagues. Apple pie was totally from scratch…a lot of work, but WOW! Made these lavender dark chocolate marzipan cookies especially for our awesome department head! 🚫 pictured: 3-cheese broccoli puff 010
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 20/04/2025First attempt at lattice crust! Lavender blueberry pie 🥧 with lattice crust and blueberries and leaves as crust decorations 010
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Finally got the lavender chocolate scones right! 030
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Did my first baking in the new house, oatmeal jam squares for my department head (she’s so awesome) and lavender cranberry scones for a colleague who lost a close family member. Scones weren’t pretty, but very yummy! Will need to play with addition of lavender to get the pretty texture back. 020
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 30/03/2025March reading wrap: Not as much time reading as I’d like + some really long books, but a great month overall! Wool (Hugh Howey), Mexican Gothic (Silvia Moreno-Garcia) and The Good House (Tananarive Due, @tananarivedue.bsky.social) were amazing!! #booksky #reading 060
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 19/03/2025Now that the dust has settled a little bit from our move, I got to join a couple of wonderful friends for Toby’s first walk on campus! He was an amazing boy and had such a good time! What a beautiful day in south Georgia! 020
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 14/03/2025We actually talk about Blaz's book in my FLES methods class, and this semester, I added some sections from this chapter as well. This is one of the slides from the book we always spend a lot of time on, because we talk about how all of these (and more) are amazing gifts that our students bring! 120
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 13/03/2025Toby wants to show off the dining room in his new house! Happy to be back home in Valdosta! 030
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 03/03/2025My reading recap for February…a lot of escaping into series and stories as we pack up our house amid the dystopian nightmare. Just finished Catching Fire (audiobook) and about to finish Wool. Highly recommend that one! Of these, The Frozen River was amazing—5🌟 for sure! #booksky 040
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 18/02/2025Eating cake one year out will either go really well or really badly for us 🫶 030

Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 14/02/2025A great Friday lesson planning on Marceline Desbordes-Valmore and the basics of an explication de texte with my ever-faithful TA...he loves poetry and hiding out near my feet. 080
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Toby loves that we are getting so much interest in our house…lots of trips to Starbucks for pup cups when realtors come to show it! 😂 040
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 27/01/2025Been struggling through work and getting our house ready to go on the market with a sinus infection and an ear infection. My sweet mom sent me a grown up care package with soup, rolls, and cookies! I almost cried…I’ve been so blessed to have such a wonderful mom! 130
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 26/01/2025Quick cuddles with Hyacinthe before putting away our fantastic groceries from Costco! Lots of people out shopping today in places that aren’t bending the knee! 020
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 23/01/2025To my academic friends in GA and beyond, please consider joining the AAUP. In this political climate, our biggest strength is working together to fight the discrimination, racism, misogyny, and anti-intellectualism at all levels! #aaup @aaup.bsky.social AAUP.org 030

Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 19/01/2025I’m so sorry for your loss. Skittles was beautiful! 🫶 This is Emma, she passed suddenly when she was only 7 years old. We miss her so much but her memory brings peace and joy along with the sadness. Sending you peace and light. 🕊️ 010
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Excited for the first class in my elementary school world language teaching methods course! Always fun to meet new students & renew conversations about early language learning! We'll start this week with some reflective listening for our community of practice! #langchat #iTeachWL #edusky #earlylang 050
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Third one for the year of pies didn’t turn out as pretty—Race Day Chocolate Pecan for the best colleague ever! 010
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Second pie of the New Year’s resolution is a charred oak maple pecan for my department head. Pretty happy with how it looks! (Oak maple syrup is charred, not the pie! 😂) 000
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 13/01/2025Working on independent study syllabus in XIXe siècle poésie! Undergraduate Kelly, you finally get to nerd out w/ Lamartine & Baudelaire! Send recs for interesting articles or reads, especially intersections of poetry & art-have many already, but would love more! #iTeachWL #edusky #frenchliterature 000
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 11/01/2025A lovely Saturday spent reading with my oldest daughter and a fire built by my sweet husband. Not sure if Hyacinthe feels this is actually comfortable, but who am I to judge a kitten… 030

Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 05/01/2025So true! Hyacinthe wriggles out of almost every sweater I try to put on her, sometimes ending up wearing it like a weird skirt. This one was especially bad because it was way too big. 😅 010
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 03/01/2025My sweet husband got me some espresso cups from The Paris Market in Savannah and I feel like the fanciest lady on earth now that I have an appropriate liquid-to-cup ratio. It’s the little things. 020

Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 01/01/2025My “resolution” for this year was…PIE. I would like to learn how to make all different kinds from scratch with the hopes that I can gift them to others and make their day a bit brighter. My sweet husband’s favorite is cookies and cream, so I started off with that today. Room for improvement! 110

Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 23/12/2024I learn so much when traveling. For instance, on this quick trip to New Mexico, I learned that if you are cute and charming like my mother, pie doesn’t count as a liquid or gel. On an entirely different note, my mom had coconut pie for breakfast. 020
Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 21/12/2024Any good vibes for my Blazers would be awesome and much appreciated for this DII National Championship game! 14-0 and only the second time this season we’ve even been behind score-wise. It’s been a doozy of a semester after hurricane Helene…would love to see them bring a win home! ❤️🔥🖤 000

Kelly F. Davidson @drkellydavidson.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Proud wife moment: my husband is really doing an amazing reupholstering our dining room chairs! We inherited the suite when his mom downsized. They belonged to his grandmother and have seen many lovely family moments. Just needed a fresh fabric! 050
