Who am I?  Good question.  Everyone has probably asked this of themselves at least once in their lifetime.  Well I am not really sure what to tell you about WHO I am, but I can certainly tell you a little about myself.

I am a married, working mother of two children, Isabella (2) and Austin (5).  The husband, will be known as any of the following depending on my mood:  the hubster, hubby, shit-head (ok, very rarely, lol), daddy (to the kids obviously), etc.  I blog when I get a chance, usually on my breaks/lunch at work.  We are a very busy family and having time to do computer related stuff at home is a rare luxury, so I squeeze it in when I can!

I have a degree in broad field science and chemistry; and I am certified to teach those subjects to children… high school children.  Although I love my kids, there is no chance I would even remotely have the patience required to teach kids that age.  I give lots of credit to those who can and do teach young kids, but it is not for me.

I work full time at a University as an administrative assistant, and part time as an online science teacher (which by the way is an awesome way to teach!).  I am also currently working on my masters degree in secondary education as well as working on my physics, biology, and earth science licenses.  Ambitious, I know.  I do always tend to get in way over my head on things… I just seem to have this inner need to keep myself completely over extended.
In addition, I have taken courses in psychology and child development.

I will often blog about my opinions on raising children based on my experiences, things I have learned in my studies, and things I have just read about; however, I make no claims to be an expert of any kind, and please accept my opinions for what they are, opinions.

I also blog about food, usually recipes that I have tried, or that I want to try.  If I post something, please feel free to comment… good or bad.  I can take it, usually.  :-)

Anything else you want to know?  Ask, I may tell you or I may not.    :-)
