About me

Hey there, fellow tired-but-determined parent or educator!

I’m G, a 30-(something)-year-old teacher, mom, and former overachiever who thought I could do it all—create Pinterest-perfect lesson plans, craft engaging activities for my students (and my own child), and somehow still have the energy to drink coffee while it was hot. Spoiler alert: burnout hit me like a runaway glue stick.

After spending way too many late nights laminating, prepping, and searching for the perfect learning tools, I realized something: It shouldn’t be this hard. Parents and teachers deserve easy, fun, and engaging ways to help kids learn—without the stress and exhaustion.

That’s why I created Play & Learn Haven. This is my little corner of the internet where I share all my favorite must-haves, time-saving resources, and sanity-saving activities for anyone teaching little minds. Whether you’re a teacher trying to keep your class engaged, a homeschool parent figuring it all out, or just a mom like me who really wants 10 minutes of peace while their kid does something educational (without asking for snacks), you’re in the right place.

Grab a coffee (and reheat it at least twice, because #momlife), and let’s make learning fun, simple, and stress-free—together!

💛 G
