She tutors students, ranging from pre-K through grade 12, several evenings a week and views at her position as a stay-at-home mom with a strong background in education as an opportunity to help out her pals by sharing with them some of the "insider secrets" of teaching to use on their own children.  

Her goals for the New Year? Clarity.  Focus.  Simplicity.  Contentment.  

Her impetus for this blog? Sharing with friends and family how she tries to sneak in some sort of learning for her own children in the every day.  Nothing super-fancy, expensive, or complicated--just learning through meaningful time and play together.
