In My Own Words

I'm a Martha Stewart wannabe. I love doing projects with my kids, cooking new recipes, trying out new parks and places. I teach full time and have 2 school age kids with a hubby who thankfully rarely has to travel for work. My kids never stop moving. They eat great, sleep well, and love to be outside rain, shine, or snow. We have a few challenges at school that I get to see from both sides of the desk. Both kids are very bright but have a few things that crop up at home and school. Our challenges are attention and impulse control, emotional and sometimes social issues. I also know from talking with friends that these are perfectly NORMAL things. We try to not stress about it and just work it out. I love my kids.
