Hi, I’m Kimberley — a high school teacher navigating burnout, slow living, and my not-so-secret dream of leaving the classroom behind.
This blog is a quiet space for fellow educators who are tired of the hustle — and for anyone drawn to slower days, vintage decor, and the joy of creating a life that feels truly lived-in.
Whether you’re a teacher on the edge or a collector of teacups and candlelight, welcome. You belong here.
Â
If you’ve ever sat in your car before work, heart pounding, wishing you could turn around and drive anywhere else —
you’re not broken.
You’re a teacher who’s outgrown a life that no longer fits.
I’m still in the classroom too – but I’m building my way toward freedom, slow day by slow day.
Here, you’ll find real stories, small steps, and practical tools to help you breathe again – whether you’re ready to leave teaching or just need to survive a little longer with your soul intact.
You don’t have to do this alone.

“I truly believe that slow living is not just about being present in the moment but actively creating the moments to be present in.“
