About Me
- Jewellyn
- Austin, Texas, United States
- I have spent 22 years as a teacher with four boys of my own. In a nutshell, many cars look littered with assorted wrappers and crumbs from snacks -- mine is a library on wheels. I can't get my boys to stop. When I told them car makers designed the baskets behind seats specifically for holding books, I sealed my own fate. Reading is my passion, and I love to pass that on to kids (there's a special knack with boys). I hope you find a connection here!
