About Me

I graduated from USA in 2005 with a BS in Elementary Education. I did not pursue teaching at that time because I already had a remarkable job and worked for a great company. I quit my job last year to stay home with my four year old daughter and one year old son. I have returned to South to have my teaching certificate reinstated.

My husband and I have been married for 9 years and have 3 children. We love vacations to Disney World and have been three times in the past year. I enjoy baking and sewing. My sewing projects are usually simply and are for my children. I love to try out new recipes and tweak them just a bit to make them my own. I have used my co-workers for taste testing experiments. Everyone survived.  I  also enjoy running. I run in local road races and would like to eventually run in one of the many half marathons in Disney. 

I watched the video on Time Management, by Randy Paush and he points out some excellent ways to manage your time. I believe in list and a calendar. However, I tend to make many lists and sometimes this can be overwhelming for me. My lists are constantly changing depending on things changing during the day or what I am able to accomplish and check off. It is nothing for me to make two or three list a day. For me, planning is a necessary tool in time management. I have a five year old daughter who is always having something going on at school; parties, meetings, field trips, etc. She is involved in cheerleading and gymnastics. If I did not have a grasp on my time and could not manage it effectively, my life would be crazier than it already is. I thought the list of questions Randy Paush posed we ask ourselves were fantastic. I especially like the question, “What will happen if I don’t do it?” That is an excellent question and can also help us decide which things are priorities. It can also help us set some boundaries or goals. I think time management is an essential aspect in lives no matter what the profession.
