Amber Gilbert is the mom of one 2 year-old, and the stepmom to two lovely teenagers. Amber grew up in Cloquet, studied English and Education at The College of St. Scholastica and Theatre in Colorado, before moving back to Cloquet to live with her husband after getting married five years ago. She has been a high school English and theatre teacher for 11 years and her husband is a stay-at-home dad. Amber enjoys cooking and meal planning, listening to true crime podcasts, and starting craft projects that she never finishes. She is excited to share all the ins and outs of raising toddlers and teenagers in a very blended family, and doing it pretty okay.
