Jaki
I'm a mama of 2 ambitious and nonstop girls. Founder & Owner of Brick Drop Co, firm believer in live and let live, lover of science, learning, teaching methodologies (Montessori, Reggio Emilia, etc), not a great crafter, lover of animals, and vegetarian/vegan. My partner and I have been together for 10+ years and we strive to spend time together hiking, playing board games, building Lego, traveling, and spending time with our kiddos, pup, and cats.
