I'm Robyn (Dr. Brookshire) and I'm sharing pics of my two daughters, our doggies, and my partner & his mother. We are really dog-crazy in our house and really adore our fur babies. My daughters are 24 and 19 now. I've lived in Knoxville for the past 20 years, but am originally from eastern Kentucky. I love to go hiking and camping as much as I can, and I have a regular meditation group I go to every week. Also, I love hobbies that have to do with crochet, knitting, sewing and crafting.

My name is Chazmin I'm from Chattanooga TN. This is my second year. I am a big sister to 6. So that explains my love for kids lol. Over the summer I worked as a summer camp counselor with ages 5-7 and really enjoyed it. It gave me a look on what it may be like as a teacher working with younger kids. From the course I hope to learn new and different ways to incorporate technology in my classroom in the future.
