You knew it was coming. (I just can’t keep my mouth shut.) I have been a teacher for 24 years. I have been a mother for 22 years. I have been a person with a beating heart for 52 years. I have had a conscience and a high level of empathy for at LEAST 30 of those years. (Let’s just forget about those teenage years, shall we?) As a teacher, mother, and most importantly a person who CARES for the welfare and well being of children, I am both horrified and heartbroken over what is transpiring tonight over there in the happiest of valleys.  Read more >

I like happy endings. I like to know that even when the going gets tough, the people I am reading about will end up in a field of daisies, with a picnic lunch and the knowledge that what lies ahead will be full of roses and unicorns. The Kid is not that kind of story.  Read more >

Well, it’s that time of year. (Parents, you know what I’m talking about!) It’s the time of year when parents of school aged children are doing the happy dance! Oh, I know the happy dance- I’m doing the happy dance myself! I might be the teacher, but I am also a mom. The happy dance comes at the end of a long, fun-filled summer- a summer filled with wet bathing suits, mildewed beach towels, empty wallets, fresh cut grass tracked across your hard wood floors, endless sleepovers, pool dates, golf dates, play dates and movie dates.  Read more >

About Me: 

I am a teacher, a writer and a very busy mother of three. I graduated from University of Oregon with a degree in Journalism, and then from San Diego State University with my Teaching Certification. I love my crazy family, my loud barking dogs, and the fact that I never know what tomorrow will bring.

 

An interesting fact about me: I used to be a private investigator in California.  Then I decided to try something really challenging, and decided to become a teacher.
