I'm a Jac of all trades — and I'm done apologizing for it.

I'm a homeschool mom, a maker, a children's book author and illustrator, a soccer coach, an event planner, and the creator of Little Makers Market.

I built this because of the kids. Coaching Lucas's soccer team gave me a sense of purpose I hadn't felt in a long time — and when parents went out of their way to tell me I was making an impact, I paid attention. That kind of feedback is worth listening to.

So I went all in. In a time where my impact felt small in the world, I realized we can all make a bigger difference by focusing on our immediate communities — and there's no more receptive audience than kids. Still open. Still curious. Still fully themselves — and still learning how to communicate in a kind and confident way.

A place to make real things, find their people, show up as exactly who they are, and learn skills that will shape how they see themselves and the world around them.

That's what I'm building here. And I'm really excited to see what happens next.
