Hi there! I’m Kerryann.

I’m mama to Oliver (5) Isla (3) and Owen (1) and have been married to my husband Christian for 8 years (but we’ve been together for 15, I like to add that in because that’s been hard work and I want credit for ALL the years

I have used Positive Discipline in my classroom and in the schools I’ve worked at for over a decade. I’ve been honored to mentor and teach hundreds of students and teachers in my roles as a Kindergarten-8th Grade teacher, an Educational Specialist serving students with special needs, and as an Academic Coach, providing training to teachers in this methodology.  

It’s been over a decade of using this pedagogy in the school setting - but using Positive Parenting in my OWN home has literally saved my motherhood!  

As a recovering perfectionist, I know how desperately we want to get things right!  Especially when it comes to our children.  I initially set out to research all the parenting frameworks and best-practices I could find.  I definitely over-complicated the process. 

Yet, while I had no difficulty finding unlimited resources for my challenges with infant and toddler sleep, breastfeeding, speech delays, etc - I struggled to find resources to help me achieve my goals of a motherhood that felt simple and joyful!

So, I decided to BECOME THE RESOURCE!  As such, SIMPLY JOYFUL was born.

Aside from running SIMPLY JOYFUL, I love watching reruns of Friends, falling asleep when company comes over (seriously, it’s my favorite) and eating copious amounts of anything with cheese in it.  I love to travel, and before having kids, Christian and I travelled the world together at every opportunity we got (visiting 32 countries in total).  We have yet to do any international travel with our kids, but when I muster up that courage - I will for sure bring you along for the journey!

I’m so happy you are part of this community and can’t wait to have a front row on the transformation that is about to happen in your home!
