My name is Emily and I was born and raised in Florida. My family
owned a dairy farm when I was a kid so I'm a farm-girl at heart. I
always knew I wanted to be a teacher (if dolphin trainer didn't work
out...it didn't).

I graduated from Saint Leo University
and then found my "home" at the very school where I did my final
internship. This is my 10th year teaching and love that I am part of
such a great school family.

I
get to spend most of my time with a wonderful man and his fantastic
daughter. She keeps me laughing and is the tester of most of my TPT
creations.
I have a fur-child, Penny, and she has a dog named Paisley. They are both a mess.
I also love to read, bake, and fundraise/plan for Relay for Life.
Why do I love ladybugs so much? Well, when I was knee-high to a grasshopper, my amazing Mama B (B is for Buckler), my Aunt Beverly, and I started a Ladybug Club. It was very exclusive (kind of) and now anytime I see a ladybug it reminds me of them. We lost Mama B a couple of years ago to the nasty "c" word, but I continue to love our ladybugs.
My personal
mission is to lead my students toward finding their greatness, learn
something new everyday, and always find something to laugh about.
