Throughout my teaching career, I took several years off to raise my family.
When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family. Being a mom is the best thing that has ever happened to me and I take my role as a mother very seriously. When I have free time,
I enjoy...
- Thrift store shopping
- Road trips
- Going to yard sales with friends
- Gardening and canning
- Reading and listening to audiobooks
- Listening to podcasts
- Creating TpT products and lots of freebies for librarians
- Being actively involved in my local and state library committees
- Doing practically anything while being with my family and friends.
