Founder of The Party Teacher
Since 2011, I’ve been making it easier for moms to create parties their kids declare “the best ever!”
I’m an Atlanta-based wife and mom of twin girls — a real mom, planning real parties. My friends started saying, “you should be a party planner” and I finally decided they were right. But I’m also kind of an organization freak. I loooove systems AND the planning process AND being creative. So that’s my deal: I get a kick out of helping moms plan their children’s birthday parties.
My parties have been featured in magazines and leading party sites, including NPR, Huffington Post, Hostess With The Mostess, Kara’s Party Ideas and more!
So, let my nerdy planner side save you time, save you money, and double the fun you have planning your next party.
