When I was a brick and mortar teacher, I always looked forward to Fridays, Red Ribbon Week, the week before winter break, and the days when our Houston Astros were playing in the playoffs. Why? Because we were almost always allowed to wear jeans! I have to say that as a stay at home mama/teacher, I definitely take for granted that I can wear jeans or leggings whenever I want. Obviously, being a stay at home mama/teacher has more perks than just a loose dress code - but I do have to say it’s one of my favorites! What would you say is one of your favorite perks with your job? 🌿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Is this not the cutest photo of @vkteacherjessica ?! I think this picture could be the listing photo for the shirt in the shop! Jessica is wearing the VIPKid Retro Rainbow shirt in white. 🌈 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Today is Thursday and it’s usually a day my little one looks forward to because of this lady right here! It was during one of @sarahsteachingcorner ‘s IG stories that I decided to sign up my two year old for an 8 week long virtual Tinkergarten circle time. Not only is she a VIPKid and Outschool teacher, she’s also my son’s Tinkergarten teacher. Before we started our first class, I honestly didn’t have high expectations because my son rarely follows directions. But Sarah has blown me away with how during each class, she’s able to make connections with each student and keep my little one’s attention! Now I know that his non-cooperation is totally by choice. 😜 Sarah is taking a well-deserved week off but we can’t wait to see her again next week! 🌿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So I’ve gained a few friends on this account recently and I want to say welcome!! Here on this account, I post a ton about my *NEWish* small business - The Little Teehouse and not infrequently about my journey as an online teacher with VIPKid and Outschool. But I’m hoping to toss up a post every now and then that tells you some things about me you probably didn’t know, besides the fact that I’m a former classroom teacher. Ready? I love everything Bravo - Housewives - especially RHONY (has anyone else seen the Countess’s cabaret show live?! 🤪), Vanderpump Rules, and Mexican Dynasty (did you hear, there won’t be a 2nd season?! 😭). Right now, I’m really into going on walks in the evenings because it’s Texas and we’ve actually had some fall weather lately! But there’s nothing I love more than experiencing the world through my *almost* 2 year-old’s eyes. Drop a comment below telling me something about YOU! 🌿⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I would say “if you’re not already following @thisislifewithlaney , go do that!” but let’s be real here - I know she’s a huge reason my little shop has seen some success! She is one of the most encouraging IG teachers I know who genuinely wants to see other people succeed. She gives and gives so much to our little community of online teachers and I’m so grateful to have “met” her! 💜⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This lady @teacher_rachel_ right here deserves the biggest shout out ever from me! When I first launched my store at the end of May, she was one of my very first customers. Imagine my shock when she bought 4 shirts! At a time when I was feeling unsure, she shared all of her purchases, tagged me, and was seriously the biggest cheerleader for me - more than she even knows! Go give her a follow if you don’t already - she dishes out some great tips & advice for VIPKid teachers every morning while genuinely cheering us all on.

I think we can all agree that @kaleysclassroom has been a wealth of knowledge when it comes to everything VIPKid and now Outschool! She was one of the first @thevipkidlife teachers I started following on IG after she was on an IG live with my amazing #vipkid mentor Meredith @creativitythecore . Soon after I followed Kaley, I discovered that there was this huge community of online ESL teachers on Instagram. Little did I know how meaningful and supportive this community would be!

Tell me - how did you find this amazing community of teachers?!

When I first saw this photo of @teacherhannahb my jaw dropped to the floor. How absolutely beautiful is she?! I love how bright, glow-y, and happy she looks - just like her IG feed. If you’re not already following her, go do that now!

Here’s your last reminder that you only have until tonight at midnight (CST) to shop my entire Etsy store at 15% off! (Hannah is wearing the Bright Teach in Black Heather). If you haven’t taken advantage of the sale, what are you hoping to get your hands on today?

I did a month-long sale for September to celebrate 100 sales and I don’t know what I was thinking when I did that- but I can tell you now that this won’t ever happen again! 🤪 So here’s your daily reminder that you only have until tomorrow night at midnight (CST) to shop my entire Etsy store at 15% off!

“It’s Up to Us.” - Eleanor Roosevelt wrote her book “It’s Up to the Women” in the height of the Great Depression almost 9 decades ago but what she wrote couldn’t be more relevant today. She wrote these words trying to galvanize a movement for democracy, peace, and freedom and believed that women would determine our future. So today, on National Voter Registration Day, I urge you to exercise your right to vote and make sure you are registered today. 🗳

Can you name the movie?!... Our heat index is still hitting triple digits here in the Houston area. 🥵 And I can’t wait for some fall weather!! Here’s a sneak peek of what’s coming soon to the shop.🍂

Today, Tuesday, September 15 kicks off National Hispanic Heritage Month to celebrate and recognize the contributions Hispanic Americans have made to American society and culture. Our newest apparel piece features a “papel picado” design - a Mexican folk art and decorative craft made by cutting elaborate designs into sheets of tissue paper. ✂️ ❤️💙🧡💚💛💜

Almost embarrassed to share this! 🤣 My first attempt at a Reels with a shirt from my shop. Here are 4 different ways to wear a teacher graphic tee during the summer to fall transition! I think they’re all cute enough to wear both in and out of the classroom! 🌿
