💛 A Little About Me
I’ve been teaching for 18 years, with 10 years in an urban school before moving to a small town and building our dream life here. I’m a wife, a mama to 5 🥰, and we spend our days chasing kids, tending to our animals (3 dogs, 6 chickens, 4 ducks, and a bunny!), and soaking up this season of life.
My greatest joy will always be my family. ❤️
