My Story
Hey There, I’m Katie.
I’m also known as The Literacy Lady.
Wife, mama x3, teacher, reading specialist, literacy advocate, summer camp founder, curriculum writer, dream builder...
I also REALLY like beautiful journals & flair pens, comfy pants & jean jackets.
I believe that the only people crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones that actually do! And I believe education is the key to a better future.
Fueled daily by ALL. THE. COFFEE and JESUS, I’m working just like you to calm the chaos and build a LOVE of learning in my home.
Before the days of chasing dreams AND babies, I walked through seasons of infertility (here’s looking at you IVF x3), overwhelm in the classroom & as a mama & simply the search for more JOY, SIMPLICITY & IMPACT.
I LOVE sharing tips & tricks with educators & families to make LIFE EASIER… getting ALL kids LOVING LEARNING & being successful in school.
And I’ve got an abundance of RESOURCES HERE TO SUPPORT YOU.
SIMPLIFIED LEARNING that works!
Most days you can find me working or with my fam. Devouring books & creating resources for students, teachers, educational programs & families. Aaaand chasing my hilariously wild kiddos around somewhere in between. #momhustle.
I bet you know what I’m talking about. Maybe you also…
Work really hard.
Do all the dishes.
Read all the books.
Snuggle all the babies.
AND try to keep up with show & tell days, spirit weeks & reading lists to keep your kids doing well in school AND loving learning at the same time.
It’s a privilege. It’s also exhausting. Let’s be real. Parents – I see you.
It has changed the game for my fam (goodbye kids-are-restless-Mom-has-gone-crazy & hello organized-learning-supplies-peaceful-kids-and-mama). It brings me SO MUCH HAPPINESS to share it with families like yours!
This FREE GUIDE will truly help you get routines in place that SPARK JOY & LEARNING in your home … making your life EASIER & bringing more CALM.
I’m also known for founding The Literacy Camp® – a SUPER FUN summer camp experience in Mid-Michigan that engages kids in a way parents AND kids LOVE. Over 700 families have been through The Literacy Camp in the Lansing Area. It’s magical.
Check it out HERE: Registration for The Literacy Camp SUMMER 2025 opens March 1!
Send your kiddos or consider supporting by donating toward scholarships for those with financial need.
Thanks for being here. I consider the chance I have to build this community - people that CARE deeply about kids & education - a gift I’ll not take for granted. Together, we can support children of all ages to LOVE learning & be successful. And in a way that makes life easier – not more complicated. I PROMISE.
Let’s change the world! And let’s start in our homes, educational programs & classrooms.
Still here? Let’s connect! Come join & say hi in my FB Group HERE. Or send me a DM on Insta.
I’m praying for you & cheering you on!
