AUTHOR INTERVIEWWho do you envision the book is for?
I know the book has been used by some preschools, but as a mom, it is easiest for me to envision another mom using the book. Whether it is a stay-at-home mom, who is in charge of all the family errands, or the working mom, fighting traffic to get home; I like to think of both moms grabbing the book to create a special, fun moment for their kids.

Are lesson plans too serious for toddlers?
I am a former teacher, so the term "lesson plans" was used a lot throughout my teaching career. I became comfortable with that term, and didn't consider that to some it might sound very serious.
However, "lesson plans" is just a fancy, teacher word for guide. This book is just a guide for parents to do fun activities with their children. Parents can pick and choose what activities to do, what order to do the activities, and the appropriate time to do the activities.

Are structured activities or free-play more important?
I hope I can vote both If I had to pick one, I would have to pick free-play because I think it is so important for children to use their imagination through free-play and let their mind wonder about anything their little heart desires.
Of course, I think there is enough time in our little ones days for them to be able to do a structured activity as well. This is just a good opportunity for them to learn about a specific topic and a small way to prepare for preschool.

Are there any daily habits that help you be productive?
I have started taking advantage of the screen time limits and settings on my phone lately. I realized my phone was becoming a big distraction during my time with my kids and during my working hours, so I set up restrictions on my phone to not notify me during those valuable hours. This has been a huge help
Each day I also like to start my day by thinking of 3 things of which I am grateful. This helps me to start each day positively, which typically leads to a more productive day.
