Hi there! I’m Shannon, a high school teacher and blogger.
After spending my entire life balancing a career and motherhood, I now find myself adjusting to life with an empty nest. And let me tell you, it’s really hard. When all your children grow up, get married, and leave the nest, it’s a huge transition. But now that the dust has settled, I’m embracing this new chapter with excitement and determination, and I’m inviting you to join me on this adventure.
Life as I knew it may have changed, but the best is yet to come.

The idea behind The Savvy Momma is simple: I want to make the second half of my life the best it can be. I have big dreams, even bigger goals, and an incredible partner by my side. But to make those dreams come true, I need to be savvy. From building our retirement to buying a new house and spoiling future grandchildren, there’s a lot on my plate.
And when you’re living on a teacher’s salary, it’s time to get to work—creating a new empire that my whole family can benefit from.
Just because our children are grown and we’ve sacrificed to provide them with a good life doesn’t mean our job is done. Far from it! They’ll always need us, and now it’s our time to create the life we were meant to live. Whether it’s stepping into new ventures, nurturing our relationships, or creating something for our future, we still have so much to offer.
I’m embarking on this exciting new adventure and I’m thrilled to share my journey with you! Whether you’re a mom with grown children, a teacher looking for inspiration, or just someone looking for motivation to chase after big goals—this is the place for you.
Let’s do this together! 💪✨
