1. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TPT'ING?

2 months - but I've been creating my own teaching resources for as long as I can remember! I'd been toying with the idea of upgrading to a seller's account for a few years and finally took the plunge.

2. WHAT'S IS YOUR MOST HELPFUL ADVICE FOR NEW TPTERS?

Sit back and observe for a bit before you upload your first product. There are lots of rookie mistakes you can avoid by participating in the Seller's Forum.

3. WHAT IS YOUR MOST HELPFUL ADVICE FOR BEGINNING TEACHERS?

Don't try to do everything in your first year. The Internet is a blessing because it brings so many great ideas, but it's also a quick way to make yourself feel inadequate. Sometimes you just need to unplug and not worry about finding or designing the most creative lesson. Don't lose sight of the fact that it's your connection with the students that matters the most!

MY FAVE PRODUCT

I love this grocery game! Like all of her products, it is colorful, practical, and engaging for students. 

Head on over to her store to pick it up and other great items!

I am so glad that she participated with Teacher Feature Tuesday. I love learning from other teachers and TPT'ers to how to grow as a teacher and as an entrepreneur. I especially love her advice about being patient with yourself and your store. I definitely had those feelings of being inadequate in the beginning, but there is a great quote that I'm trying to live by:

Don't judge your beginning by someone else's middle
