I am a Chicago-Native, born and raised. Recently, my family and I moved to a quaint, cute, suburb in Illinois about an hour and twenty minutes outside of Chicago. I am a mother of 2, awesome and brilliant girls ( 11 yo and 2 yo). They are the light of our life and though some days are more crazy-chaotic then others, I wouldn't have it any other way! Married to my best friend whom I've known since the 3rd grade. It was kismet that reconnected us and now we share this beautiful life together.
Outside of being a full-time parent. I share a classroom with the most amazing 3 to 6 year old students! It is a Montessori school that sits on a large acre of land, surrounded by nature. They call me "Miss A" or simply, just "Teacher" =).
The idea to create a blog came to me while I was a 25 year-old, undergrad at Northeastern Illinois University. During that time, I was juggling a full-time, second-shift, job as a Laboratory Technician; my oldest daughter was in the first grade and my husband-who was then my boyfriend-was a server at Leona's Restaurant in Rogers Park. Up until that point, I was at a cross-roads with my life. I was a full-time student, a full-time employee and a full-time mommy! The revelation to continue my studies, to become a teacher, was all that I was for sure of. I was ready to start a brand-new chapter in my life but the lack of sleep, the crazy-busy schedules, the mid-terms, the parent-teacher conferences; are what brought me to this point. I persevered through it all and I am here to share with you my "Indie Mama" journey. But first, coffee! =)
