me in a few paragraphs…
I teach high school English. I know…crazy. But being around teenagers every day keeps this thirty-something young and hip, you know? I learn the lingo that most people my age have no clue about.
I am married to a very good man that drives me crazy, sometimes in a good way, sometimes not. I like to say that I like my men older and less mature. We have an adorable little boy, J, whom we are fostering currently, and hoping and praying that we may someday be allowed to adopt.
In addition to little J we are the parents to four dogs, one cat, two turtles, and a handful of fish. We live in a little red house in Southern California, and couldn’t imagine living anywhere else.
I started blogging to commiserate with other fost-adopt parents, but have found a little world to indulge all my passions in life. Thus the random blog. And I do have an English degree and WON’T be writing the Great American Novel, so, hey, let’s put it to use somewhere. My disclaimer, however, is that DO NOT expect stellar writing and perfect grammar. I write purely for LOVE.
I love that you’re reading this, and I do love all comments and emails.

You need to update that the fish are in the turtles tummies!
writing purely for love…that’s adorable! hope you’re doing well & just dropping you a quick line to say thank you! thank you! thank you! for the shop love. I am so grateful!
I also used to teach high school English. In fact, I resigned at the end of last school year to be at home with my little boy. I wouldn’t trade it, but I do miss being very in the know about the latest lingo, music, and trends. My students seemed to love filling me in on their world. Enjoy!
Jamie, SO jealous that you get to be at home with your little boy! : )
