In this vlog, I’m sharing a little bit of everything — real life as a Montessori teacher, small business owner, and mom.
š Trying a new E-Meals recipe: Asian-inspired nachos (with pork, wontons, edamame, carrots & sesame!)
š§♀️ Finally making it to yoga after weeks of resistance
šØ Painting clay figurines + talking about creative blocks
š Planning lessons: Living vs. Non-Living (with three-part cards + objects)
š Our school’s Kindness Week ribbon project
š February classroom plans (Celebration of Life, Chinese New Year, conferences)
š¦ Poshmark vs. eBay reselling strategy + why patience matters
š Library refresh for the classroom
This video is about rhythms — food, work, creativity, self-care, parenting a 20-year-old, and running a classroom at a startup Montessori school.
I also share: How I structure kindness recognition in the classroom Why intentional self-care takes effort What I’m learning about business strategy through reselling Why sometimes cake for breakfast is allowed.
If you’re a teacher trying to build balance, a Montessori educator, a creative navigating resistance, or someone building side income while working full-time — you’re in the right place.
✨ I’ve also started writing weekly long-form posts on Substack about Montessori life and mentorship. It’s free — link below if you'd like to read along.
Thanks for spending the weekend with me.
Are you needing some support with how to structure your classroom? As a Montessori teacher, I understand that feeling of overwhelm! I have created a detailed lesson plan to 'hold your hand' through each day. These lesson plans can either be used to jump start how to create the rhythm of the classroom (monthly) or I have a full year plan that can then be used for a 3 year cycle.
