Autumn Longmire
Hello! I live in La Follette, TN with my family. We live on a big farm with lots of animals and space for the kids to run around. I'm a high school English teacher and I love my job. I'm proud to live and work in Campbell County, which is just a few miles north of the Knoxville area. I have always loved words- that includes learning new languages, speaking, reading, and writing. I usually write about the work-life balance of motherhood because I'm always learning more about what I can and can't handle.
