A bit about me personally -
My husband, John, and I moved to Elburn about a year and a half ago after several years in the Tri-Cities. Between the two of us, we've lived in each of the Tri-City towns. We love Elburn because it's the perfect middle ground for us. I'm a country girl and grew up about an hour Southwest of this area. My husband is a city guy and spent most of his growing up years in the suburbs of Memphis, TN.
We are a family of 5 and two sweet, old lab mixes! Our three children are triplets! They are 10 months old and an absolute joy! I love being a mother and teacher. Working with children has been an interest and passion of mine from a young age. Before becoming a mother, being a teacher was not my job, it was my hobby. I loved what I did so much, I never felt like I went to "work!" Now that I am a mom, I wanted to find a creative way to be home with my children more and still do what I love. Owl Learn is that answer!
