"Busy" doesn't even begin to describe my life.

​

These days, you'll usually find me teaching middle school science, cheering from the

stands at an ice hockey rink, juggling my firefighter husband's ever changing

schedule, or squeezing in a little work on this teacher business whenever I can.

Life is full, a little chaotic, and almost never quiet, but I wouldn't trade it for anything.

​

Teaching has always been a huge part of who I am. Since 2005, I've taught

everything from 1st through 8th grade, stepped away from the classroom for 8

years, homeschooled my daughter for two years, subbed in grades TK-8, and

then found my way back to full time teaching again in 2025. That journey has given

me a uniqueperspective because I've experienced education as a classroom

teacher, a substitute teacher, a homeschool mom, and now as both a teacher and resource creator.

​

No matter which role I was in, one thing always stood out to me: If learning isn't fun, it isn't working.

 

Students don't remember the worksheets they completed, they remember the moments they laughed, solved a challenge with their classmates, celebrated a win, or couldn't wait to see what was coming next. Those are the experiences that make learning stick. And that's exactly why I started creating classroom resources.

​

Every digital game, escape room, brain break, and classroom activity I design begins with one question: Would my own students actually enjoy this? If the answer is no, I keep tweaking it. My classroom has become my testing ground, and every resource is refined through real lessons with real middle schoolers before it's ever shared with yours.

​

My goal has never been to create "cute" activities that teachers use once and forget. I want to create resources you'll reach for again and again because they save you time, keep your students engaged, and make teaching just a little easier.

 

Because let's be honest, we already spend enough of our free time grading, planning, answering emails, and wondering if we forgot to make copies. You shouldn't have to spend your weekends reinventing every lesson just to hold your students' attention.

​

So if I can help you walk into class with a lesson or activity that's ready to go, keeps your students engaged, and lets you leave school a little earlier at the end of the day, then I've done my job.

​

I'm so glad you're here. I hope these resources help you spend less time stressing over lesson plans and more time doing what you became a teacher to do... inspire kids and enjoy teaching again.

​

Welcome! I'm cheering you on every step of the way.
