When I was in middle school, I went to a small parochial school. I was with the same (small) group of students from pre-k to eighth grade. I wasn’t like most of them. I lead a very different life outside of school than most of my peers in many ways. In middle school, I had a best friend. We did…

Well today changed a few things…
Hi everyone! Again, here I am apologizing for not posting in forever, but life as two teachers with two kids… well… it happens. Today, though.. wow. Today was a big one. Tuesday evening, Sarah and I got an email from one of the founding members of GLSEN Phoenix who Sarah has become friends with, asking if we’d like to come…
Ah, the name changing.
We’re back! I keep promising updates and failing- sorry about that! Those of you who follow us on social media (me: IG @JenniBerr and Sarah @chandlersarahb if you don’t…) know how busy life has been and busy in a really great way! So name changing. Wow, what a process. We’re happy to report that we’re all done! Everything at this…
Wow, it’s been a while!
Hi everyone! This is a long one… primarily because it’s been a really, REALLY long time since we’ve updated this thing. Sorry about that! Life has been insanely crazy, in a good way, generally! So since the last update, Sarah has been on HRT for five months at this point. It’s been crazy seeing some of the changes. It’s hard…
My Grandma
People ask me all the time how long it takes for me to write a blog post. Quite honestly…. when the creative juices hit me, I can pound out one of my normal blog posts and have it published and all within about 15 minutes. I guess that’s a gift because it often surprises people. Ha. However, this one is…
Saying “Wife”
Teachers returned to school for my district yesterday. It was super fun to see everyone and reconnect. It’s been a busy and not so positive summer and I was greeted with lots of hugs and smiles, which was great. But let me tell you… Holy awkward. Awkward for me. Not awkward because other people made it that way… just me…
Where do I start?! So much to say!
Hi everyone. Sorry about the absence. It’s been a rather crazy few weeks. We got back from Hawaii all pumped to keep this going and I got into a little funk right in the middle of a week that I planned on making quite a few updates and it just didn’t happen. Then, my mom passed away and now that…
A Day That Shaped My Future
I will never forget today. I will never forget the first thing I saw when I woke up and got on Facebook. There was a shooting. At a nightclub. A LGBT+ nightclub. A place for my people to go to get away and feel safe among ourselves. I’ve always felt such a strong bond with the community, but wasn’t sure…
Sarah’s Birthday
Today is Sarah’s birthday! I love that we turn the same age, only she’s exactly five months before me. It’s like she gets to test the waters before I throw myself in. Ha! She seems fine with being 35 today, but I’m terrified of that number for some reason. Oh well. Good news is that I have until November to…
The Fabulous Morgan
Oh, my Morgan Boy. My first born… he came out ready to sassy-walk and throw glitter all over this world. I can’t believe he’s going to be ten in just about a week. It’s nuts. As soon as I told Morgan that I was starting this blog, his first words were, “Do I get a post?” Of course, Morgan. You get…
