In this video, I’m sitting down for a really raw, unedited catch-up because I’ve been gone for a bit and I wanted to be honest about why. I’m still pregnant (baby #2 is due in February), I’m still teaching third grade here in Maine, and life has looked very different lately because my husband has cancer. This isn’t a polished vlog or a classroom setup video—this is me sharing what’s been happening behind the scenes and letting you in on the hard stuff as well as the hope we’re holding onto. I talk through where my head and heart have been, what this season has been like as a teacher mom juggling school, a toddler, pregnancy, and appointments, and why showing up online has felt complicated. More than anything, I wanted to reconnect with you and open the door for what you want to see next—whether that’s gentle routines, teacher/mom life updates, or just real-life content that meets me where I’m at right now. If you’ve been here for a while, thank you for sticking with me, and if you’re new, I’m really glad you’re here.
