Every year, for the past 5 years as soon as teachers are announced, I start seeing posts on Facebook with “Sally got Mrs. Smith, what teacher did your child get this year?”. Not this year. Why?

“Look Out ‘Cuz Here I Come”
I am a HUGE fan of The Greatest Showman. “This is Me” is one of my favorite songs. It really hits home with me. I love the message of embracing who you are and who you are meant to be.

I blinked…
June 3rd, 2002 I was just shy of 19 years old and became a mom for the first time. My sweet Justin came in the world and changed everything I knew about life and myself. I was completely lost, I mean what does an 18 year old do with a newborn baby? Justin and IContinue reading “I blinked…”
