Welcome to PureHearts.
I am a mother of two daughters (who are now 23 and 20), a high school teacher, and a lifelong learner. We live in the Greater Seattle area, where the air is clean, and we’re surrounded by breathtaking beauty! I started this blog to share the experiences, lessons, and reflections that have shaped me as a mother. Parenting has been one of the most rewarding and humbling journeys of my life. Through each stage, I have learned that growth often comes through challenges, patience, and love.
In this space, I share real-life experiences, the lessons motherhood has taught me, and practical guidance for parents navigating their own unique journeys. My role as a teacher has also shaped the way I parent, just as motherhood has influenced the way I teach. Together, these two roles have given me a deeper understanding of children, learning, and growth. The most fulfilling combinations in my life!
I hope that these stories and insights encourage you, remind you that parenting is a continual process of learning, and help you build a home filled with love and intention.
This site is dedicated to the innocence of children and the learning that goes into the development of these pure hearts, and to transforming them into understanding and responsible adults.
