While I didn't teach in the classroom but for a limited time, I was able to maintain my teaching skills while raising my children at home and going into various schools to substitute. Once my children were grown, my husband came out of the corporate world and we opened a brick and mortar small business in our hometown of Pine Mountain, GA and he maintained the Service side of the company which includes tractor services lawn-care fence building and many other services.
