I am a part-time kindergarten teacher and mom to a 5, 4 and 2 year old at home. It hasn’t been easy, especially this year, but I just can’t let go of the passion to be apart of children’s (that are not my own) lives. Yet, to enjoy this, I have to properly balance my job with my family. Sometimes it makes me feel better when people acknowledge just how hard this balance is, but really, I’m just telling you, because what I am getting at is- you encouraged me. thank you for sharing your acknowledgment and for trusting your child to me (us). And thank you for allowing your baby girl to be His salt to her classroom. Well, I’m on chapter 8 of your book and have already recommended it to my Bible study. It is a perfect read for busy moms who need to feel someone else in her corner. I would love to keep typing (because we’re friends after-all 😉 but my 4 year old just woke up from her nap and is climbing in my lap for some cuddles. You know how it is. 🙂 Enjoy your blessings, Becky!

It is difficult to work with the age group that I do (middle school) and feel any amount of appreciation from any direction. Thank you for your beautiful gratitude and for supporting all of the adults who take part in supporting your children.
