This is the part I detest when writing essays for other publications: the "Author Biography." I never know what to say about myself. I suppose I could start off saying that I am a wife. I have been since 2003, although sometimes it feels like yesterday. I learn new things every day about the wonderful man I married.
Up until my second daughter was born, I was a public school teacher. I have taught at a few different schools, ranging from elementary to middle school. My last assignment was teaching math to middle schoolers, which was actually a lot more fun than it sounds. I love inspiring children to learn, but I want to invest more into my family right now. I am currently homeschooling my younger two and having a blast doing so.
I absolutely love being a mommy. Or "Mama" as my oldest daughter used to refer to me. She is the reason I started this blog, and her and her siblings are the reason I am continuing this blog. I love watching them learn. I love hearing them talk. I love watching them play and explore the world around them. My second daughter joined us in 2013 and I am excited to watch as she grows and learns. Our littlest guy joined us in May of 2015 and my world got a little crazier.
I love to read. I devour fiction novels like candy, although I am starting to branch out more into nonfiction. I do some writing here and there. I have this blog, and I like to submit to other publications from time to time when I think my work will touch a larger audience. I have a few ideas for novels I'd like to write one day. I have jumbled notes and drafts and my dream is to one day see a novel with my name on it at the public library.
I love naps and quiet days at home. I attempt to garden, despite having no idea what I'm doing. Sometimes things grow. Sometimes they don't. I like to take chances in the kitchen and experiment with new recipes. I also enjoy going to the beach, traveling to new places, and learning about all the people around me. I'm a Christ-follower with Jewish roots and a thirst for knowledge. I adore all kinds of chocolate and the kids know the way to my heart is with a Reese's peanut butter cup.
Thank you for coming to read my blog. You are more valuable than you realize.
Beth
