This quick post will hopefully introduce you to who I am as a person and educator.
- 👩🏽👧🏽👧🏽
I am a single mother of 2 rambunctious daughters. Becoming a parent has definitely given me a new perspective on being an educator. - 🌱
I don’t have a green thumb but I have been working really hard on NOT killing plants. I am currently on an 18 month streak for indoor plants and a 1 month streak for outdoor plants. - 🤣
Laughter truly is the best medicine. I try to find a silver lining of humor (and sometimes irony) in even the most dire situations. - 🌞
Seasonal affective disorder is real. Sunshine brings me joy and I miss it during the winter months. I’m seriously considering investing in one of those sunlight simulator light boxes so I can get my sunshine in the winter! - 🍽️😋
I love food. I love to cook. I love to eat at new restaurants and have new culinary experiences. I love to introduce my daughters to different cultures through the lens of their food. - 🎨
I love to create. I haven’t made it a priority since becoming a parent, but my children love to craft and create and they have helped me regain this part of my self. - 📚
I love to learn about new things, and love reading and I am sooooo thankful for the advent of audio books and podcasts, because these methods of consuming new content fit my lifestyle a little better these days. - 👩🏽🏫
I am a fourth-generation educator. My father was a high school science teacher and then administrator. My grandfather was an elementary teacher and then an administrator, and my great-grandmother had 14 children and prepared them all for college during the Jim Crow era. - ♻️
I am a hippie at heart and do all that I can to help reduce my impact on the Earth. - ❤️
I truly believe in the power of love and relationship. I try to align my actions so that I am operating in love every day, in every interaction. You never know what impact a seemingly random interaction will have on someone else. This is a great responsibility.
