Mel Lucht is my cousin, a dear friend, wife, mom to 3 teenagers and a teacher. She was a SAHM for years before deciding to go back to work. She spent a few years trying to figure out what was the best fit, until a dear friend sat her down and told her what a good teacher she would be.

It took several years of hard work and sacrifice, but Mel managed to get her teaching certification while still working and having three active kids. Mel shares about wondering if she was too old to go back to school, and the joy she gets now from pouring into the lives of young children.

Some of the things Mel does NOT do includes cleaning, all of the laundry and cooking, and making fancy meals. She used to love pouring over new recipes and trying things, but now keeps it a bit simpler to save her sanity.
