I love sharing creative teaching resources. My story sprouted as an award-winning children’s author/illustrator, school principal, classroom teacher, Bible study leader, mother, and grandma. Above all, I love helping parents and educators confidently and creatively teach children about God and His creation. Similarly, you have a unique and special story. Therefore, let’s grow ours together.
Your story requires you to be your child’s teacher, principal, and parent. Therefore, you’re the single authority in your child’s growth.
You have to be extra creative because your child works with you every day and every year.
Similarly, I have raised 3 children & now enjoy being a grandma. I’m here to give you new ideas & share in sprouting your story.
Your school is a family. You work closely with each child’s parent and provide customer service for the “business” of education.
Consequently, you have to be extra creative because your students are paying customers.
Likewise, I spent more than 10 years as a private school principal & am here to give you new ideas & share in sprouting your story.

You have to be extra creative in sharing the love of Jesus within legal restrictions.

As a result, you have to be extra creative so your students enjoy & remember God’s Word.
I have served in Children’s ministry practically my whole life. Therefore, I’m here to give you new ideas & share in sprouting your story.
