You’re doing important work—and I see you.
I’ve walked the halls, wiped the tears, and lived the classroom chaos.
Hi! I’m Lindsey Erickson, the creator behind The Teacher Wife—a licensed educator from Utah who’s passionate about helping K–3 teachers save time and teach with confidence. Here, you’ll find classroom-ready resources, engaging lesson plans, and meaningful inspiration to support your success in the classroom.
In 2009, during my first year of teaching, I started blogging and creating classroom resources to support fellow educators. Since then, I’ve connected with thousands of passionate teachers and parents who use my printables to make learning fun, effective, and easy to implement.
I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and have full-time teaching experience in 1st and 2nd grade—though my heart will always belong to first grade! Every resource I create is classroom-tested, student-approved, and designed to save you time while keeping students engaged.
When I’m not creating teaching tools, you’ll probably find me sipping a 44 oz. Diet Dr. Pepper and blasting music in my minivan. I’m married to a tall, dark, and handsome guy (literally—he’s a foot taller than me!), and I’m a proud mom to three amazing kids—two boys and a girl. Being a mom and a teacher is truly my dream come true. Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad we’ve connected.
My goal is to provide professional, classroom-tested resources that save you time and help your students thrive. Feel free to browse the blog or visit my Teachers Pay Teachers store to find everything you need to teach with confidence and ease.
