Instagram has been humbling me lately 😂 Apparently about four of you are seeing my posts right now, so this one is for the four of you.

I saw this Dolly Parton quote the other day and immediately thought about this summer.

I love my work. I love creating things and building this little business of mine. And if I’m not careful, I could probably find something to work on every single day.

But this summer had a lot of reminders that there is a whole life happening outside of my to do list.

Road trips. Ocean days. Mountains. Whales. Too much coffee. Time back on the west coast. Watching my kids explore places I love. Taking my camera everywhere. Staying out later because the light was too pretty to go inside.

I definitely didn’t have a perfectly unplugged summer. But I made a life, too.

And I’m really glad I did. 🥰

What did you do this summer?

A welcome banner + land acknowledgement = the perfect first week of school activity. ✨

It creates a beautiful classroom display while helping students learn whose land they're on, reflect on where they come from, and get to know one another. 🥰

There are more Indigenous education resources avai

There are more Indigenous education resources available than ever before, which is exciting! But it can also leave teachers wondering where to begin.

Before introducing any Indigenous content into your classroom, taking a moment to ask a few thoughtful questions can help ensure your lessons are respectful, accurate and meaningful.

This carousel isn't about having alllll the answers. It's about approaching Indigenous education with curiosity and a willingness to keep learning. 💛

Meaningful Indigenous education isn't about, check

Meaningful Indigenous education isn't about, checking a box or teaching one lesson in September.

It's about creating opportunities for learning throughout the year. Through books we choose, the voices we cpentre, the history we teach, and the conversations we have with our students.

This carousel shares a few ideas for moving beyond one time activities and toward learning that is ongoing, authentic and respectful.

Which slide resonated with you the most? I'd love to hear below 💛

One of the biggest things I hear from educators is

One of the biggest things I hear from educators is: "I want to do this well, but I'm worried about getting it wrong."

That care matters. Teaching Indigenous perspectives doesn't require knowing everything, it requires a willingness to keep learning, listen to Indigenous voices and use your role as an educator thoughtfully.

You don't have to wait until you feel like an expert to begin ☺️
