Additional biographical information
While I LOVE teaching, my MAIN job is MOM to my two beautiful children, Johnny (10) and Josephine (7). My husband and I are both Pennsylvania transplants with our Northern Roots running deep in our veins. We love sunny Florida, living close to the beach, family workouts in our driveway, and enjoying all things outdoors (except tents, I don't enjoy tents).
