Free Spirit Kids began one sunny afternoon as I sat on the floor of our
living room reading a story with my daughter. I suddenly had a grand
realization that I could bring all of the different hats I wear (come
on, moms- you know what I mean!) together into one. As a wife, mother,
teacher, artist, and naturalist, I had realized that I could bring all
of these together to create and share Montessori and nature-based
materials that I had made for my daughter and students.
Free
Spirit Kids has brought together all of the most important things in my
life; being a mother- I use many of these materials with my toddler-age
daughter; being a teacher- I work with preschool-aged children who are
always so eager to learn and laugh; being an artist- I have an absolute
need to create; being a naturalist- our family has a strong connection
to the natural-world and exploring the outdoors.
Why "Free
Spirit?" When my husband and I first moved to the Shenandoah Valley, we
were both known as free spirits that didn't stay in one place for very
long. After marrying, having our daughter, and buying a homestead where
we were able to put down some roots, we're "starting" to settle down
(but are still very free-spirited within!)
