Motherhood in Progress

Wife. Mom. Teacher. A Work in Progress

About Me

My name is Emily and I am a wife, mom of 3 (Lucas-7, Haley-5, and Claire-2). I am also an elementary special education teacher in a small community in Eastern Pennsylvania.

With the pressure that society places on moms nowadays, it is hard to feel as though you are enough. There are days that I feel like I am on top of the world, and others where I am completely defeated. There are days where I am full of energy and can keep up with my kids, and others where I am utterly exhausted. Motherhood is not a one-size-fits-all approach and I am learning as I go.

I am just a working mom, trying to make the best of an even more difficult job. I am not perfect, nor do I try to be. I am learning as I go and taking life one day at a time. I am here to share my journey so far, my successes and failures, and any hacks I find along the way. I am here to help you not feel so alone as we work on us.

I will also share all the tips and tricks I find along the way. Things that make life easier; things I enjoy; and things that are related to my field as a teacher.

Comment and tell your story- what worked for you and what didn’t. Motherhood can be lonely and we need each other. Let’s do this together.

XO, Emily
