About
My name is Shari LeBrun
I am a full time wifey, mother of two, and teacher of little ones. I have been married to my high school sweetheart, John, for almost 16 years (and have been together for 22). I am a mama of two amazing kids, Andrew and Lilly. I have been an educator for 16 years. I also have a passion for finding and using eco-friendly products that work great and help our family stay as healthy as possible. I love reading, watching my kids play sports, taking walks, watching TV & movies, and of course spending time with my family and friends.

I may even share some personal, funny stories along the way. We're in this crazy thing called life together.
For as long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a wife and a mom. I was blessed enough to meet my best friend and now husband, John, 22 years ago. We were high school sweethearts and have been married for almost 16 years now. He is a great husband, father, and leader. John is my biggest supporter and believes in me even when it is hard for me to believe in myself. I am so thankful for him! A few years after getting married, I was lucky enough to become a mom. Andrew came along first and then Lilly followed three years later. I feel like as I watch them grow up into the people they are meant to become, I am reminded of the saying, "The days are long but the years are short". Some days are definitely easier and better than others, but I am thankful for them all. If we never had bad days then it would be harder to recognize the good ones.
I have been an educator for 16 years. I love working with students of all ages, but my specialty is Early Childhood Education. I have taught Pre K through Second grade in a varity of settings such as urban, rural, public, private, and virtual settings. I have also taught English to students overseas with VIPKID. I have created a teacher merch store and TPT store with products that can help you look super cute and stylish, while helping you meet your professional goals.
