Helping you find some grace in the daily doings as a homeschooling parent, classroom teacher, and everything in between!

The perfect solution for busy teachers, new homeschooling families, and simple life seekers.

You have the best of intentions, but...

The math assignment didn't take as long as you thought it would.  There are still 20 minutes until recess, and you have no idea what to do!

It's 8:00 a.m. and you have no idea what to make for breakfast and homeschooling starts in 30 minutes. 
Where do you start?

You would like to start a garden and start preparing meals at home to save money, but the process seems so overwhelming and you never get started.

You've collected odds and ends to upcycle, but you have no idea how to repurpose them into something creative and educational or perhaps something beautiful for your home.

I'm here to help with engaging lessons & units that...

So you can focus on living a simple, more productive life.

Welcome to Happily Ever Creative

Hello, my name is Kelly!

I’m thrilled you are here! My educational journey began as an early childhood center director and kindergarten teacher. My most rewarding experience, however, is homeschooling my amazing high school son. It’s truly an honor to be a part of his educational journey.

I am also proud to serve teachers, students, and families by creating professional resources that build critical thinkers and problem solvers. The importance of making learning creative and fun is at the very heart of my design process.

Whether you are in the classroom, homeschool, garden or kitchen, there’s something here for everyone.

If I’m not wearing my teacher-author hat in my favorite coffee shop, I’m most likely wearing my gardening hat, while spending time with my family on the Carlson Farm. Getting lost in what I love to do, surrounded by the people I love most, is truly a blessing indeed!
