Your ONE STOP SHOP for Black History Month!!

January 11, 2015

That’s right! You heard it hear first. My store is your ONE STOP SHOP for Black History Month. This is undoubtedly my favorite time of the school year. I LOVE teaching my students about their heritage, and how we have transformed into a nation of equality. My theme for life is love, and what better…

Back in the saddle

January 9, 2015

So as we geared up for students in 2015, I felt like I was Muhammad Ali floating around the boxing ring. No seriously, I was trying to float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee when it came to grabbing my student’s attention. There are two monumental times in each school year where students…

Teachers Pay Teachers

November 30, 2014

It seems strange to have an introduction to this blog. I’ve been on Teachers Pay Teachers for over a year now, so this is nothing new. I have just decided to take something I love (writing) and compile it with something I have a passion for (technology). I blogged for years waaaaaaaaay back when, so…

⚡️ SAVE THIS POST FOR WHEN YOU'RE READY TO EXCHANGE HUSTLE FOR STRATEGY ⚡I vividly remember dropping my boys off at school when they were in Kindergarten and 1st grade and pulling into the local coffee shop drive-thru line in my hometown about 5 years ago. I had 45 minutes before I had to be at work (we have a tiered bus system, which meant that my school day started later than my boys'), so I usually would grab a coffee ☕️ and think of what I would say to my Instagram fam.I was one of the first chicks on Instagram stories, and watching one of those old stories is the equivalent to watching one of my old YouTube videos. 🙃 It makes my skin crawl, but we’ve made progress! So that’s where I would get my material for the day. And once that caffeine hit my lifeless body, I was ready to story in my parking spot. That day, I decided to share this ridiculously immature statement, “Nobody will outwork me.” 🙈What in the world? 🥴 I thought that was a cool thing to say. Like, “Hey competitors, you can’t outwork me.” Anyone can outwork you, my friend. But, can you say that you’ve got the systems to make sure your work isn’t in vain?Here are 3 systems to stop the hustle and boost your TPT sales:💰 Mind Mapping: if you're stuck in analysis paralysis and don't know what to do with the 823 ideas swirling around in your head, get them all out on paper so you can start taking ACTION.💰 Templates: STOP reinventing the wheel with every new product you create! Use templates you've created to save you time while still providing high-value resources.💰 Support System: We need community! You weren't meant to be a lone wolf on this journey - it's time to link arms with other CEO Teachers who you can lean on in the hard times and celebrate with when you crush your goals.Which of these systems do you have in place and which one are you going to work on this week? 🧗🏼‍♀️#theceoteacherpodcast #edupreneurs #teacherbusiness #teacherspayteachers #tptseller #teachertips #businessadvice #teacherbiz #teachersystems #teachergram #instagramteachers #tptsales #tptauthor #teachersinspireteachers

Mamas- what were your biggest pregnancy cravings? Tell me in the comments! 👇🏼Me?! Gimme all the carbs! 🥖🥐🌮 I usually LOVE salads (yes, even when they have both tuna and strawberries on them 🤣), and I am eating them to be as healthy as I can for Baby. But, if I'm being honest?! I'd rather have pizza or bread. 🍕 The crazy thing is that I usually LIVE FOR salads! 🥗 Please tell me I'm not alone here 🥴After a busy week of opening enrollment for The CEO Teacher School, I'm feeling very grateful. So thankful for you and how you continue to show up and show out in my little corner of the internet. 💞 Thankful for the new CEO Teacher School members and excited to see how they grow this year! 🧗🏼‍♀️ And thankful for the opportunity to unplug and recharge with my family this weekend - it was MUCH-needed. 🥰Don't forget to take time for you this week, friend!

📖 if you could write the next chapter of your story, what would we read?Would it be a story of transformation?Maybe one of triumph!?Or maybe even one with an unexpected sharp turn that puts you exactly where you're supposed to be...My story changed dramatically when, 7 years ago, I started selling my teaching resources online. I was in deep, deep postpartum depression after having my boys twelve months and eleven days apart. My days lacked vibrancy, and I had lost my passion and purpose as a middle school teacher.I knew that teaching was my calling, but I had no idea what the universe had in store. ✨ After seeking help for my depression and learning how to sell my resources online THE HARD WAY, I started sharing my newfound passion with other teachers online. I made YouTube videos with silly sound effects where I started teaching other teachers what I had learned. (🙋‍♀️ let me know if this is how you found me!) I connected with a community of teachers with a totally different vibe than the ones at my school. And little by little, my joy returned. 👯‍♀️I decided to quit my teaching job just over three years ago, and I put all of my energy, sweat, and tears into my business. 😳 It was the scariest thing I had ever done, but I knew I had to take the leap of faith. Was it worth it?! You tell me...Fast forward to 2021 where the world is masked and distanced, and my business is thriving now more than ever. 🌿 I get to do what I freakin' LOVE to do - TEACH! But I'm no longer surrounded by desks and preteens, I'm in an office where I connect with my adult students weekly via Zoom. My family and I don't have to live paycheck to paycheck as we once did, and I am truly happy. 🌈The good news?! I've done all of the research for you. Learn from my mistakes, and get to living your best life sooner than I did. Maybe that's in the classroom or maybe it's home with your babies. Whatever it is, I am here to help you every step of the way. 👣🚨 The CEO Teacher School is NOW OPEN but only through February 17! 🚨 This membership is transforming thousands of teachers' lives, and I want YOU to be our next success story. Are you in?! 💃#ceoteacher #ceoteacherpodcast
