All About Me

When I was a child, I adamantly informed my mother that I would never learn how to read. Ironically, 20 years later, I am a Writing Coach, English Tutor, and former Literacy Site Coordinator with AmeriCorps. Oh, and now I’m writing a blog about my experiences as a mom; life is definitely full of surprises! However, my path to this point was tenaciously and tenderly encouraged by my mom: a woman who homsechooled five kids while running a household, working part time as an educator for other children in our community, and continuously prioritizing her husband, faith, and family in a manner that minimized the perpetual chaos she must have felt. I hope to be like her and for my children to always know that I am their greatest champion this side of Heaven.

Currently, my husband and I are expecting our second child. Our 20 month year old daughter keeps requesting a sister, but we’re confident that she’ll love a brother just as much! In the busyness of motherhood, it seems crazy to start a blog. However, since I have grown from the authenticity of fellow moms, I have decided to share my adventures as part of this sleep deprived calling in case my own experiences, however limited or food focused they may be, can encourage someone else.

Happy reading!
