(A Few of Shannon and Katie’s Essentials: 1. Dallas Arboretum 2. Madewell striped tee 3. Havaianas flip flops 4. M.A.C. Lipglass 5. J. Crew scarf)
We’re doing a little something different today for our “Mom Crush” and featuring two Dallas moms that have joined forces to co-chair an event honoring the teachers at their children’s school. They are crush-worthy because of their enthusiasm, energy, drive, collaborative spirit, creativity… But what sealed the deal is the fact that they represent so many moms I know who are working full-time or at home managing kiddos and schedules and logistics with an efficiency and attention to detail that would put NASA’s Mission Control Center to shame. And they don’t stop there. These powerhouse mamas all over our fair city take things a step (or ten) further and chair committees, concept fundraisers, and execute events to help better our communities in hugely meaningful and lasting ways.
In the case of moms Katie Fagelman and Shannon Juett, the event in question is the 60th anniversary St. John’s Teacher Appreciation Tablescape Luncheon. Over the past year, in addition to their careers as the entrepreneur behind Little Play Spaces (Katie) and Vice President/Sales Director for STAK Design (Shannon), the women have lead a team of St. John’s parent volunteers in planning this event designed to honor their teachers and staff. In honor of the event, we asked the ladies to share tips for all the rest of you amazing mamas out there who might want to do something similar for your own kids’ schools. We also asked them to share some of the things that keep them sane (i.e. family outings, Tangle Teezers, and early morning alone time).
Here’s what we learned…
