- Outside the classroom
I love to travel, I LOVE being a mom to a college student and to a senior in high school, I am a massive foodie, and I love to cook ANYTHING. (But my favorite food is Cajun because a part of me is). I've rarely met a book I didn't like to read, and I love volunteering whenever I get the chance. I really love to work with my hands, but I rarely have the time.
