About

Welcome! I'm Katie J - wife, mother of two boys, former high school English teacher, aspiring homemaker, and a work in progress.

I began this blog with the thought that life is no walk in the park.  My days alternate between an all-out sprint and a slow and steady marathon pace. While running through the days, though, I strive to appreciate the small things and notice the many blessings I have been given.

This blog is my attempt at documenting my efforts of running a home, running a family, and running a life.

A little bit more about me:

• My husband and I are both from the DFW area and have been married for 4 years. 
• I taught high school English for 5 years.  I am now an online instructor through BYU-Idaho. 
• Give me a bag of Peanut M&Ms, and I can accomplish anything.
• I am a Mormon, and I lived in Spain for 18 months as a missionary. Once upon a time I was fluent in Spanish.
• I derive a ridiculous amount of pleasure from crossing things off of a to-do list.
• I am always silently correcting people's grammar. I can't help it, sorry. 

Thank you for stopping by!
