“Sami is like the ultimate mom friend. She’s kind and relatable, but consistently shares research that challenges me to do better. It’s obvious she has a heart for loving others and a passion for heavy research that I don’t have the time or energy for. She does all the work for me and I’m grateful for everything she shares. We are healthier and happier because of what I’ve learned.”
- KELLY M.
Hi there! I’m Sami.
I’m a certified reading specialist (M.Ed), wife, and healthy mama with a heart for helping kids thrive. I believe thoughtful, responsive, intentional parenting can change the world.
Here you’ll find all things related to nurturing the WHOLE child – their cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and academic development.
It’s my goal to share the most effective, research-based approaches to fostering early learning skills through play, books, and connection - optimizing children’s natural developmental needs and cultivating more joy as a family.
Thank you for being here!
