If it's not broke...

You might recall the old saying, "If it's not broke, don't fix it.". That made me think of teaching. If I am not broken as a teacher, do I need to be fixed?


I am a big fan of DIY projects and my husband and I decided to do a total overhaul of our kitchen/dining/living room area. We were on a tight budget and wanted to get the biggest bang for our buck. So with the help of my trusty friend Pinterest, I set to work. We were able to stretch our budget by taking things that were old, slightly used, dusty, and even some new items and create some pretty amazing things. We used our resources and were able to make our house that much more.

Now, was my house broken? No. It worked ok just the way it was. However, with a few adjustments here and there, my house is looking WAY better than it did before. With the exception of a kitchen chair, nothing was broken actually. It just needed a fresh pair of eyes to see it's true potential. I knew the old cupboards had it in them to be something amazing. They just needed to be looked at differently to see what they could become. Same with the table and chairs. They had been around for quite some time and worked great as is. However, with some paint and new fabric, they are now amazing. I even had NEW frames that I painted in order to fit the surroundings a bit better.





So when you think about "Do I need a coach?", you might think of my DIY projects. They still worked the way they were, but with a few adjustments here and there, they work and look SO much better.

Let me support you in your DIY classroom to use the resources you have in order to make the biggest impact for kids. A coat of paint, some new fabric, or maybe even a little dust removal... let's work together.
