 In case you missed it, I’m Mika. You can read more about my journey as a teacher, mom, and wife on my About Me page. But today, I want to share why I decided to start this blog and what I hope to bring to all of you who are navigating life’s beautiful chaos with me.


"Why I Created Ma'mi in the Middle Seat"

Introduction: Hi, I'm Tamika — a wife, mom, educator, and lifelong learner. As much as I love my family, my classroom, and the adventures life offers, balancing it all is not always easy. But I’ve learned to embrace the chaos and created this blog to share my journey with you.

Why this blog? Between my busy days as a teacher and the joy of raising two amazing kids, I wanted to create a space to reflect on the beautiful balance of family, teaching, and personal growth. I’m passionate about education, family life, and travel, and this blog is where I hope to inspire and connect with others who share these passions.

What to expect: Here, you'll find stories about family adventures, teaching tips and resources, personal growth, and the occasional travel story — from road trips to unique experiences with my sons. Whether you’re a teacher looking for new ideas, a parent seeking family-friendly travel tips, or someone looking for inspiration, I hope you find something that resonates with you here.

 Thanks for joining me on this journey! Let’s explore and grow together, one blog post at a time.
