I have a degree in Early Childhood Education. I have taught in the classroom and as an online teacher.
However, one of my greatest joys (and challenges) is being a mom! After my first son was born, I wanted to be involved in helping him learn and grow, so I began to develop activities to help engage his developing mind. I also wanted to help other moms dealing with hectic schedules and continuous time restraints. As a result, these activities evolved into 15 educational activity books.
Motherhood has many joys and challenges, and sometimes that can lead to feeling burned out. So to combat that feeling, I began to practice gratitude through journaling. I found this beneficial to my relationship with my husband and children—I am happier, more patient, less stressed, calmer, and more optimistic. I created The Full Life Gratitude Journal for Moms so other moms could have a full life that is more grateful, mindful, and joyful.
Autumn has a passion for helping moms be able to educate their children in a fun, low-prep way that she shares on BestMomIdeas.com.
