Hannah Reeder
People call me “mom”, “Hannah”, “teacher”, and “honey”. Of these, my most treasured is “mom”. I am a foster parent, wife, teacher, and English major. I’m a reader, a writer, a photographer, and a person who thrives in chaos. I’m almost old enough to rent a car. Writing is the most effective way for me to realize which of my thoughts is worth dictating and which should be quickly thrown into the wastebasket, both in computer form and in my mind. Hopefully, most of what makes it onto here was worth it!
