Moms can be teachers, Teachers can be moms….

What on earth do I know about it?  Why did I start a blog for teacher moms?

I am one.  I am a teacher and a mom and I was a homeschooling mom.  I was a teacher for 5 years before becoming a mom.  I was a mom who chose to homeschool her sons for 10 years.  After the boys graduated high school, the need for cash became evident.  College was on the horizon, so I went back to teaching.  I was a special education teacher for almost 9 years.

I understand.  I remember those early days of teaching.  I remember those early days of motherhood.  I remember those days of homeschooling.  Of course the most recent memory is that of being an elementary special education teacher.  And I needed encouragement.  I needed someone to tell me that it was okay.  I needed someone to tell me about their experiences.  I needed someone to encourage me when I homeschooled.  I was so afraid I was going to “ruin” my kiddos.  Guess what?  I don’t think I ruined anyone….my kids or my previous students! Of course, I have chosen not to take a poll concerning this issue!

So, may you come here to hear stories and laugh.  May you chuckle as you are encouraged.  Maybe I can even answer some questions. My prayer and desire is to help you on your journey….whatever journey or role you have now.

I do not claim to have all the answers, nor all the experiences…but I can promise you that at 53 years old I have learned from my mistakes and will continue to do so. Maybe you can learn from my mistakes too.

Be blessed dear ones!
