Teaching Mum Life: Balancing Two Worlds
Helping busy teaching mums feel less overwhelmed, more organised and more like themselves — in the classroom, at home and everywhere in between.
Created by a teaching mum, for teaching mums — realistic tools designed to help you feel more organised, less overwhelmed and a little more in control.
You're in the right place if...
✔ You love teaching but sometimes feel exhausted.
✔ You constantly feel pulled between work and family.
✔ You're tired of feeling guilty whichever role you're in.
✔ You want practical ideas that actually fit real life.
Made for the life you actually live
Teaching Mum Life is about making the juggle feel a little more manageable.
From practical ways to keep work and home life organised, to ideas and support for those weeks when everything just feels a bit much — everything here is created with the reality of being both a teacher and a mum in mind.
No perfect routines. No impossible standards. Just realistic support for the juggle.
Hi, I'm Emma
I’m a teacher of 15 years and a mum of two, so I know first-hand what it feels like to be constantly juggling the classroom and home life.
I created Teaching Mum Life to make that juggle feel a little easier — with practical tools, realistic ideas and honest conversations about life as both a teacher and a mum.
I’m not here to tell you how to do it all perfectly. I’m figuring it out too. I just believe we can make both worlds feel a little more manageable.

Two worlds. One planner. A little more breathing space.
Being a teaching mum means juggling two busy worlds. There's the lesson planning, marking and school deadlines, alongside the family appointments, meal planning, activities and everything else that needs remembering.
The Teaching Mum Planner was created to bring those two worlds together, giving you one place to organise your week without feeling like you have another thing to keep up with.
What's included:
August 2026 – July 2027 monthly calendars to keep track of important dates, appointments and events.
42 weekly HOME and WORK planning spreads, helping you see both sides of your week together.
Three flexible planning periods to organise your priorities throughout the school year.
Dedicated HOME-only holiday planning pages, because life doesn't stop when school finishes.
Space for meal planning, family activities, marking, admin and weekly priorities.
Gentle reminders and small shifts to encourage you to make a little space for yourself, too.
Made to work around your life
The weekly pages are undated, so you can use them around your own school calendar, wherever you teach.
Some weeks you'll fill in every section. Other weeks you'll barely touch it. Both are absolutely fine.
This isn't about doing more. It's about making the things you're already juggling feel a little easier.
