Today marks my first day back at my full-time job as an elementary school secretary — the heart of a buzzing campus filled with little voices, backpacks, and bright-eyed learners. It’s the kind of job that reminds me daily why I do what I do: kids are magic. And they deserve spaces that see and celebrate them.
But while I answer phones, greet families, and keep the school day running smoothly, there’s a second dream that rides right beside me…
✨ Tiny Tee Books.
My heart project. My mission. My late-night side hustle turned early morning purpose.
Balancing both jobs isn’t always easy — but it’s worth it. Because every book, every sticker, every “Mommy, he looks like me!” moment from a reader makes the hustle feel holy.
So if you’re reading this and juggling your own 9-to-5 while chasing a dream, I see you.
Keep going.
🧡 To my school family: I’m happy to be back.
📖 To my Tiny Tee family: More joyful stories are coming your way.
We’re just getting started.
