If you are reading this blog, you most likely already know me and have your own (hopefully positive)opinions regarding this category. Here's my condensed version: I am the lucky wife of a hard-working and devoted husband and father, Michael, and together we have two beautiful girls, Maya (6) and Ava(3). I have previously taught high school English in a variety of settings and am currently employed as a "stay-at-home-mom." I have decided to keep this blog for my own therapeutic purposes, to document the trials and tribulations of parenthood and life in general, and share with any interested family members and friends.
