Welcome!
I’m Emma
Montessori Guide, Mother & Homemaker
I’m so pleased you are here. I’m the mama to the sweetest identical twin boys as well as a wife and homemaker. I am trained in the Montessori Method and was an Elementary Montessori guide for many years before shifting my focus to being a stay-at-home mom so I could raise our twin boys!
Montessori has shaped the mother, homemaker, and wife that I am. I am passionate about cultivating beauty and order in my home while supporting the independence of my children through thoughtful systems and organization in our home, which is reflected in Montessori Philosophy.
