Life as a teacher can feel like walking a tightrope…
Let’s find balance together.
~An ever-growing list of responsibilities at work.
~The physical and emotional needs of my family at home.
~Trying to squeeze in any type of self-care.
…My daily life is pretty much a constant balancing act!
Sound familiar?

If you appreciate good coffee, believe the Oxford comma is essential, and the phrase “free time” makes you laugh, then we’ve already got something in common.
I’m a wife, mother of 4 small kids, full-time teacher, and part-time writer & mentor.
Occasionally, I also like to eat and sleep.
