Blogger at gramcrackercrumbs.com where I write about the bits and pieces of life. I'm also a teacher and grandmother of five from twins to teens.
From twins to teens, I have five grandkids who call me Gramcracker. I was a reporter for my college paper and ended up marrying the editor. I worked as an elementary teacher and principal, wrote for various newspapers, am a National Writing Project Fellow and have served as a writing coach for both students and staff.
In addition to writing about family, education, active aging and fitness, I've now written about grief and moving forward since the loss of my husband.
I contribute to various blogs and online magazines, substitute at my old school where I am certified in Gifted Education and guide young writers whenever I can. I am a fitness nut, love reading thrillers, enjoy gardening, travel often and look forward to opportunities where I can try something new!
