Professionally, I am a teacher in a large urban school district about 10 miles outside of New York City. Alongside my own children, I consider my students my own babies as well…so, potentially I have had hundreds of children over the last 18 years! They help keep my mind sharp and always on the lookout for fun activities!

Personally, I am a single mom who has been rocking it solo since my younger daughter was 8 months old. It’s been extremely tough at certain points along the way, but the rewarding moments far outweigh the struggles. I am so proud of me and my girls!

As a single mom, I try my best to provide my girls with both the positive experiences I had growing up, plus many more. I don’t like to call myself cheap, but I am definitely frugal and choose to skimp out on somethings so that I can save for others. I love looking for deals and discounts, free events, and things to do at home. I’m also guilty of asking my kids if they want something or want to go somewhere, then complain about spending so much money. I need to stop that. I’m getting there…

Additionally, my bald (bold) look is due to alopecia universalis which I developed in 2019. It was the second time losing all of my hair during my lifetime, but this time seems to be for the long haul. The first time, I was completely bald for only about 3 months before my hair starting growing back. At 6+ years in now, the chances of it growing back are slim to none. And, I am ok with that! I don’t mind the stares or questions, so if you have any comment or concerns, feel free to ask below!
