    I am currently staying at home with my baby girl, but before I was a team leader for my English III team (high school eleventh grade). I taught for nine years and was a team leader for five. If and when I go back, I'd like to do curriculum. My blog is sevengracesblog.com. I blog about my faith, family, favorite things, and new mama 101. ;)
