I am so excited to start my NINTH year as a Purple Manatee! I have a Master’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, but most of my knowledge comes from being a mom of five. I have three teenagers, aged 19, 17 and 16. I also have a tween who will be 12 in a few weeks and my youngest is 8. So I have lived through a lot of parenting phases. I also work with Boston Moms, Bicycle Pie and School of Mom. I love leading my girls’ Girl Scout troops, reading mystery novels and Pumpkin Spice everything!
