About Me

Hey there, I’m Tara, or Ms. M to my students.  I’ve been a teacher for 8 years, and it’s honestly one of the most rewarding jobs I can imagine. When I’m not in the classroom, you’ll find me on adventures with my two dogs, Niblet and Daisy, and my 11-year-old daughter, who keeps me on my toes and reminds me what really matters in life.

Recently, I’ve been navigating some tough personal stuff, including the loss of the love of my life. It’s been a lot, but it’s also taught me the importance of taking care of myself and finding balance. I’m learning how to juggle work, family, and a little bit of me-time—because, let’s be real, it’s so easy to forget about yourself when you’re busy taking care of everything else.

This space is where I share the highs, the lows, and everything in between as I work on finding that balance. If you’re also trying to figure out how to take care of yourself while doing all the other things, I’d love for you to join me on this journey!
