Homeschool Adventures with Emily
As a teacher, I see firsthand students struggling to keep up, reaching for anything that might help them stay on track with their peers. My biggest fear is that my own children could fall behind, and their teachers—through no fault of their own—might not have the resources or ability to support their progress. Having managed…
Birth Story #2
My second pregnancy was a world apart from my first. I felt nauseous and sick for weeks. If I moved too quickly in the mornings, I’d be sick before even leaving to drop Sophia off at the sitter’s. One morning, I was bent over the toilet, and Sophia came up behind me, rubbing my back…
Works in Progress (WIP)
Fantasy I have never written fantasy before but after reading a few fantasy novels/series, I got inspired!

While Sam is working away from home, it falls to me to hold down the fort. I am currently a full-time teacher. I am also getting my master’s in special education while also juggling a 3-year-old and a 6-month-old. To add to the craziness, we also got a dog, Loki. I don’t know how I…
Blue Collar Life
