Jill Manty

Once upon a time, I was born. Since then, life's been a series of ups and downs much like any one else's life. Attended college (like many of you). Got a degree in a field that either pays off big or leaves you working at Starbucks for the rest of your life (like many of you). Had a child and opted out of the Starbucks for life plan. Taught for a few years. Got married. Had another child. Then a few more. Along the way, learned that staying at home raising a family was neither as easy or as boring as I thought. Six kids later, ten years at home, husband is laid off and starts a business, and I'm back in. Back into the world at large, rather than the world at small that was my life for 11 years.
