About Kathy


Mom to three great kids, Ben, Max, and Maura.  I've known my husband for more years than I haven't known him.  I was lucky enough to meet him in highschool.  Before kids I was a full-time teacher of kids with Learning Disabilities.  After having kids I started tutoring which I loved. I decided it was time for a change and I desperately missed having colleagues so I applied for a job as a Parent Educator and got the job. It is my dream job and it gives me the perfect balance between family and helping other people.
I long for the days when I can have quiet and solitude but know I'll miss the busyness of my life when those days come.  My main goal in life right now is to find balance in the chaos and help my kids grow to become happy, loving, and secure adults.  I'm starting this blog because it gives me a sense of order in chaos.



Edit...no longer married, teaching full time again, life has quieted down a bit and I do sometimes miss when the kids were younger. But I really appreciate my relationship with them as young adults. My main goal in life is still finding balance. Not sure this blog ever gave me a true sense of order but I do love having a record of my life. As I tell the kids, I take pictures so I can remember my life, othewise I might not, lol.
