Before I was a Mom

​🎤The last time I stood here, I was on stage.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It was about fifteen years ago. There were few hundred screaming Girl Scouts in the audience, reporters with cameras, and my own troop somewhere in the crowd. I was emceeing a council bridging ceremony.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
At that time, many of my peers were starting families, but I was just starting my busyness marathon. I was substitute teaching, coaching three sports, leading a Girl Scout troop, working weekends and summers at camp, and volunteering at events like this.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Now, I'm sharing the motherhood journey alongside many of those Girl Scouts, including my little sister who was in my troop.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
People ask me if I wish I had started a family sooner.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
No.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I'm so proud of the teaching, coaching, scouting, volunteering, learning, and leading I did before becoming a mom, and I'm even more grateful for the wisdom these experiences have given me.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🤱🏻Teacher mama friends, were you a teacher first or a mom first?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
PS Go buy some Girl Scout cookies and sign your girls up for camp!⁣⁣
