Ep. 99 - Parent - Teacher Relationships with Special Guests Marianne & Tara

Mommin' Ain't Easy the Podcast

Happy August everybody! We can’t believe we are already into another new month! And a big month, at that, as school is back in session! Nashville kids are back in school TODAY! Whaaaat?! And we wanted to bring you a back to school episode! Today, we are talking with Marianne and Tara, two teachers from our area, about parent-teacher relationships. What teachers hope from us, expect from us, like from us… how to communicate with them, what to reach out on, alllll the things! Marianne teaches middle school and Tara teaches elementary school and we are so grateful to have their two perspectives and opinions. And you may recognize Marianne - she is a second timer around here! Her first episode with us was episode 39 - Walking Through Hard Times with a Friend.

The only thing we mentioned in the episode to provide a link to is Quizlet! Jennifer’s kids use Quizlet a lot for school and it’s so helpful!

From our “I’m Totally Into…” segment:

Marianne is totally into her Vitamix!

Tara is totally into Freshly, a self prepared meal company.

Jennifer is totally into Hippeas Organic Chickpea Puffs (can find the big bag at Costco, but we’ve spotted them at Starbucks!).

Courtney is totally into June & January - so cute!!

BIG thanks to Marianne and Tara from taking time out of school prep to hang with us! We are SO THANKFUL to them for all their expertise, but more importantly for being true heroes in our book. Friends, we cannot tell our teachers thank you enough! They work so hard for our kids, taking long and extra hours to do work, using their own money for their classrooms and supplies… let's give our teachers extra gratitude (and extra Starbucks) all year long!!
