Parenting
So here's the thing about Parenting:
It's like, *hard*!
I find it challenging on many levels, from challenging me to be a better person, better parent and to be a better example. I continue to strive to know more about their development and to find better ways to relate to them and guide them.
I have a dual degree from College of Notre Dame of Maryland (now: Notre Dame of MD University) in Elementary Education and Liberal Studies.
I have been writing about my kids off and on for about 5 years and was previously a writer for Today's Mama of York, PA.
I have worked with children in all manner of environments, including but not limited to:
Baltimore Public Schools, both as a student teacher and as part of group teaching
St. John the Evangelist Catholic School Student Teacher
Private Tutor
Private Nanny
Christian Childcare Group Leader
CCD (Catholic Sunday School, basically) Volunteer Teacher
In-Home Childcare Giver
Elementary School Volunteer, grades Pre-K4, Kindergarten and Third Grade (for my boys)
Mother for 9 years, 7 of those as a SAHM
I'm no expert. I'm still learning. But that is a continuous journey for me.
I'll share my own parenting joys, frustrations and debacles. I'll review books on parenting, talk about shows and movies for them that I love (or detest), learning/school/homework helps and whatever tidbits I come across that I want to share. :)
