Hi. I’m Alissa.

✨As a 30-something single Mama of two boys, you could say I “wear a lot of hats”.✨

I’m a full-time Mama, part-time digital consultant with a background in teaching. I’m always looking for opportunities to teach my kiddos about the world. The last 10 years have been a whirlwind. After graduating college and getting my Masters degree, I taught Preschool and Second Grade for 5+ years before I decided to become a stay-at-home-Mom.

I’m a certified 🍎 Early Childhood Educator PK-G3 📚 and Reading Specialist K-12, with an endorsement in Early Childhood Special Education.

I’m just now becoming the woman and mAMA I’ve always known I could be.

The last decade has taught me so much about marriage, teaching, life, and myself. Now that I’ve stepped out on my own, I feel more empowered in motherhood and confident in my Mama knowledge. I have learned, day by day, to be the Mama that I’ve always wanted to be for my boys.

From all of these diverse life experiences came an unexpected opportunity to share all of my thoughts and techniques, tips and tricks: Heartminded Mama. Whether it’s educational content, teaching demonstrations or silly dances and cringey “Mom Jokes,” I love sharing my heart with the wide variety of kindred spirits out there in this great wide world. 

👋🏻 Welcome to my new site. I’m so glad you’re here. 💕
