I'm married to Kevin, who is a cook and record store owner. We just got a new addition, our daughter Hazel. She was born on November 8th. Henry, our son, is 3 years old and loves being a big brother. We also have a sweet, teenage pup named Chase.

I am a frazzled mother, an affable teacher, and a zealous learner.

I wonder when I will get more than 4 hours of sleep.

I hear the voracious cries of a baby.

I see an endless list of homework and housework.

I want to take a shower

I am a frazzled mother, an affable teacher, and a zealous learner.

I sometimes pretend to have it all together.
I feel that small, simple acts of kindness can truly make a difference.
I touch my toddler’s sticky cheek as he sleeps on me.
I worry about my student who is going through a tough time.
I cry every time I read Polacco’s Thank You, Mr. Falker.
I am a frazzled mother, an affable teacher, and a zealous learner.

I understand that parenting and teaching are like being on a crazy, joyful roller-coaster ride!
I say every student has potential.
I dream of a day where policy makers listen to teachers.
I try to remember to be kinder to myself.
I hope my efforts make a positive difference in someone’s life.
I am a frazzled mother, an affable teacher, and a zealous learner.

I played in bands for years. This was my first band as a drummer. I usually played guitar. I still play, just not in public.
