About me

I have three wonderful young children, (but you may not want to ask me about them, I could go on and on all day). I like to quilt. I’m growing my first tomato plants this summer. I keep watching reruns of the West Wing on Netflix. Before I was a teacher, I was a social worker in therapeutic foster care.
