About Me

Hi! I'm Susie, a wife, mom, and first grade teacher, living on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

I graduated from Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland in 2000, with degrees in Drama and Music. I went on to receive my M.A.T. in Early Childhood Education from Towson University in 2002. I have been teaching for fifteen years.

I met my sweet husband at work during my first year of teaching, and we have been together ever since. This fall, we will have been happily married for thirteen years.

We have two kiddos, John David {Deedle} and Alice {Princess A}. They are sixteen months apart, and they see to it that life is never dull. 

We have an incredibly gentle and patient thirteen year-old Border Collie, named McKinley. He even lets the kids dress him up!

In my spare time {which is rare}, I enjoy running, reading, spending time at the beach, and of course, creating resources for my classroom and TPT.

I ran my first {and possibly last} half-marathon last May with my teaching bestie, Caitlin from Always Sunny in First. 

My happy place is the beach, and we're lucky to live only an hour away from the Maryland beaches.

I also love a good snow day. Is there a teacher out there who doesn't?

Thanks for stopping by!
