    Today's interview is with Emily Lawson from @byemilylawson on Instagram & TikTok.

    Emily is a former classroom teacher turned stay-at-home mom of 2.


    With her oldest child, Emily created in-depth preschool activities & lesson plans to prepare her for kindergarten (similar to what she used in her classroom).


    But with her younger child, Emily realized he learned in a MUCH different way, so she pivoted to creating activities that took 2 minute or less to set up (and kept him moving the whole time to keep his attention!)


    Emily turned those activities into a Preschool Playbook to help other parents prepare their kids for kindergarten without formal lessons or tons of planning/prepping.


    Listen in on my conversation with Emily as she shares her story of transitioning to becoming a stay-at-home mom, how she pivoted her activities to match her son's learning style, and how she makes ordinary moment magical for her family.
