Our Story
How Plenty of Trays Started
I always knew I was going to homeschool my children but when my oldest turned 4, I really wasn't sure how I was going to do it!
My sister who had worked at several different daycares, got a job at a Montessori school and was blown away by the atmosphere and concentration the children were demonstrating.
After telling me about it, I went all in with the research. I was quickly disappointed in how expensive the materials were. Thankfully, my sister was all in with me and wanted to help me DIY a bunch of materials.
I knew I had to share it with others. So in 2017, Plenty of Trays was born. It started as a Montessori DIY blog and I loved it.
But in 2020, I was pregnant with my 5th child and just couldn't keep up. I sold Plenty of Trays.
During the next few years, I focused on homeschooling, becoming a better mom, letting go of unrealistic expectations, explored different methods and just enjoying my kids and husband.
In 2024, I felt ready and itching to return! I repurchased Plenty of Trays and now I'm on a mission to help mamas love motherhood and feel confident in their role with the help of the Montessori method.

My 6 year old made us dinner all by herself last night with the meatball recipe and made a salad to go with it! It was amazing!
I almost didn't know what to do with myself not having to cook or help her. Thank you so much!

I just read your guide, it was really awesome! I am grateful for the 29 Montessori definitions to help me better understand some of the things I've heard at my daughter's school but never knew what is was. I can't wait to try your recipe with my girls and for your course to come out.
Thank you again!

We don’t do Montessori (except in the atrium) but love following your page. I also ended up finally getting a kids knife set from Amazon and a small jug for pouring milk based on your recommendation ;) Am considering reorganizing my kitchen so kiddos can unload the dishwasher - they already help with cutlery and plastic items.
Will continue to watch your page and stories for inspiration!
