This podcast will help you enjoy teaching and your home life again, be more efficient and focused with the time you have and create more energy to pour into your family and the things that matter most to you! Hi, I’m Ashley, and I’m Roberta. We are both Wives, and Teacher Mamas with a combined 28 years of experience in the classroom and we’ve both been that exhausted, stressed out teacher mom. We too were overstimulated and overwhelmed, brought too much work home, struggled with keeping up on the house chores and dinner, and did zero things that we enjoyed outside of school. We finally realized that if we were going to live more energetic and balanced lives, we needed to learn different routines, time management, and stress relieving strategies. We created a plan that fits *us* and is actually easy to stick with. A lifestyle that made teaching, momming, and wifeing easier and fun again. And we’re ready to share it with you! If you’re ready to: ***Start finding balance between work and home… ***Get your housework under control so you don’t feel like you need to clone yourself to get things done… ***Find time for yourself, your family, and home with simple routines, time and stress management strategies… ***And have more energy, focus, fulfillment and patience- this podcast is for you! So go grab your coffee and leave those ungraded papers at school, because we are about to dive in!! Get ready to get your binge listen on!!

Show Notes
Episode 62: (Interview) Bitesize_kitcat bitesize educational resources
Today, we are excited to chat with Catherine. Catherine teaches Arts and Humanities to Pre-k through 5th grade students and we wanted to bring her on because the work she is doing in the classroom is so unique, powerful, and fun! But we also wanted to chat with her because of the way she uses what she preaches about Mindfulness practices herself.
Catherine uses project based learning and 21st century skills through arts and humanities. For example, listen to learn more about storytelling through yoga!
