Before staying at home, I taught kindergarten and first grade. I absolutely loved teaching this age. One of my favorite things about teaching was being able to create engaging, fun resources for my students. There is something magical about creating a fun learning environment and seeing kids thrive first hand. I always thought that I would be a teacher forever.
Little did I know, God had other plans.
In 2014, I had a very difficult pregnancy with my oldest child and was told that I would not be able to teach the remainder of the pregnancy. When I decided to stay at home indefinitely, I knew that I had to continue my passion for making learning resources and sharing teaching ideas for the littlest of learners. That is where A Dab of Glue Will Do was born.
Fast forward three years and now we are a family of five and I could not be more happy with the path that has been formed.
