My guest for Happy Hour #102 is Alaina Mayes. Alaina is a single mother of twin girls who writes, teaches, and serves as a Plexus ambassador. Even though she’s busy teaching and mothering her babes, she also shares her heart on her blog and writes for ThriveMoms, MochaKid! Magazine, and frequently contributes to other publications as a guest writer.
In today's show, we talk about her life as a single mother and the challenges and pressures she feels. She shares about the season of growth and maturation she's experiencing now, living on her own (plus two little precious humans) for the first time in her life. And finally, we chat about her job as an elementary teacher. If you have elementary children, make sure you stick around to hear the ways that teachers feel the most blessed by parents.
I think you'll enjoy hearing Alaina's story and how God has sustained and persevered her as she as endured the valleys.
