Rachel
That's me. I teach high school biology, blog, sew and run. Taking care of 5 kids is no small task, but we manage to get it all done! I also attempt to run a small business out of what used to be our dining room doing children's applique and monogramming.

Frequently Asked Questions:

There's really 5 kids AND 5 dogs?
Yes, really.

How do you get it all done?
To be quite honest, some days, we don't. Other days, we do. On the really good days, I tell you all about it!

Favorites?
I'm a fan of routine and schedules. So I really like weeks when we have a swim meet that weekend because I know exactly what my weekend will look like, how to get everything squeezed in and that dinner the night before the swim meet will be a pasta dish.

What's with the monogramming?
We live in the South. Monogramming is very popular here. When we realized how much money I was spending getting things monogrammed, I started looking into getting my own machine. I already knew how to sew, so when my mom died, it seemed like a smart thing to do with my inheritance money. So far, I'm still enjoying it.
