I know the struggle because I lived it. And I deeply regret the hours I spent on the couch behind my laptop just trying to throw something together for my 4 preps for the next day.

Somewhere along the way, “just planning tomorrow’s lesson” turned into my night job.

I tried using the Facebook group and free websites but usually felt like those resources landed flat and didn’t have the spark or engagement that I was looking for.

That’s exactly why I created The FCS Closet.

A digital lesson library filled with ready-to-use Family & Consumer Sciences lessons, projects, activities, bell ringers, sub plans, and resources designed specifically for busy FCS teachers who want top tier engagement without the prep or overwhelm. No more spending your evenings reinventing the wheel or your weekends building units from scratch.

Because your time is valuable.
Because burnout is real.
Because your family deserves the best of you, not what’s left of you. 


The FCS Closet exists so you can spend less time planning and more time teaching and living.

Comment “CLOSET” to meet me inside the #1 lesson library for busy FCS teachers where we collaborate, share curriculum needs and ideas, and let me handle your lesson planning so you can get back to living YOUR life after the final bell of the day rings for as little as $15/month.

Picture this. The year was 2017. I was sitting in a college teacher prep class with a group of AG and FCS majors.

We were SO EXCITED because a new curriculum company was stopping by to showcase a few lessons and give us FREE access for an entire year (um hello, this is every first year teacher’s dream) ✨

… but the light in my eyes quickly began to fade once I got logged into the portal and took a peek 👀 at what the curriculum had to offer.

Every single unit featured 10+ death by PowerPoint lessons, guided notes, a vocab list and 😱 GASP…. Literally every single assignment had student’s researching and creating a presentation on their findings a.k.a copy, paste, and get a grade bullsh*t.

I WASN’T GONNA EVER USE THAT!

But what were my other options? Not many…

From that moment on I was determined to create highly engaging, meaningful and relevant resources for the Family & Consumer Sciences.

With over 70 resources and GROWING each month, The FCS closet has become the #1 lesson library for busy FCS teachers - ESPECIALLY the first year teachers who are juggling a million preps 😅
