Moms. Teachers. Teacher-Moms. This Blog's for You!

What's my story?  I have three amazing sons (ages 11, 8, and 7) and I teach third grade in the same school district my sons attend.  I wouldn't trade my boys or my job for anything, but there are many times I question my sanity.

Anyone who has ever been a parent will likely agree that parenting is probably the most rewarding, but toughest job in the world.    

As difficult as parenting is, teaching follows close behind.  You know how you love, protect, nurture, and guide your own little ones?  Teachers do that all day for roughly 25 children.  You know how some days, you hear, "Mom!" roughly 8,000 times???  Yep!  That's about 200,000 calls for help/attention/emergencies/no reason at all from the little ones teachers care for.  

Some people are crazy brave enough to attempt both parenting young children and teaching AT THE SAME TIME.  

Thus, my blog was born.

Here I hope to laugh through the challenges, celebrate the successes, and offer some sanity-saving tips to other teachers, moms, or the truly insane amazing teacher-moms out there!  Welcome to Confessions of a Teacher-Mom!  I look forward to the journey!
