I work full time as an ELA teacher in NY, commuting five days a week from NJ. I flip between mom and teacher on a dime each and every day.

Watching my daughters develop into little people. Seeing how much they absorb not just from me but from the world around them. I am blown away by how observant and resilient they both are.
What is the biggest lesson motherhood has taught you?You can’t ever be great at your job AND motherhood at the same time. And, in reality, you’ll probably never be great at either one. I have to acknowledge that every single day. It’s not easy but I’ve also learned to prioritize what is actually important. Motherhood and working full time is a humbling balancing act.
What would you do with $20,000?We’ve been wanting to convert our garage into a bedroom for our youngest daughter. She is currently in our bedroom. She deserves her own room as she gets older, a place for all her things, for privacy and someplace she is excited to make her own.
