Hi, I’m Kristi!

Mom. Entrepreneur. Dreamer.

Can I get real with you for a sec?

That girl on the left is me. Hopefully she comes across as the fun Miss Kristi your kids want to read along with every day. I love what I do. Let me say that again, I love what I do! When I watch these videos, I smile even at myself because it’s the physical and tangible output of my heart for the world to see. This company that I created from a crazy idea in the middle of the night has truly become something I am so proud to bring to you…

I wake up every morning with 2 purposes for this business, to help parents create entertaining and meaningful activities for their littles and to help kids learn. For me, it’s about making a difference, even if just so incrementally. Whether it’s helping the mom not feel so overwhelmed in her life. Helping the teacher create enjoyable lessons without the hassle. Helping the dad do “crafts” with his kids when it’s really not his thing or even providing fun things for the babysitter to do with kiddos on date night. Helping parents hit the easy button is always my goal…

But I’ll be honest- This journey, this passion project, this true labor of love didn’t start out as the bright shiny girl with purpose you see to your left…

I was the mom who struggled. I desperately wanted to be the cool, exciting, Pinterest mom with the cute activities for my kids, the fun snacks that looked like inch-worms, and the reading corners that inspired, but most of all, I wanted to spend great, quality time with my littles that both of us would enjoy... and I just wasn't her.

The funny thing is, I had all the resources to make it happen, I just didn't know the path to get there.

I had a closet FULL of arts and crafts supplies and more books than we could count, but how in the heck could I make them work together? So, I would take to the internet and scour it for hours at night looking for engaging and cute printables and activities that would be easy to set up and educational for my daughter.

More often than not I would end up frustrated that the “click here” took me nowhere and the “download now” only filled my inbox with garbage. I would shut off my phone and lay in bed thinking…

There has got to be a better way!

Then one night, it hit me. I could create that better way! Why not me!? I could help parents with their littles never feel the frustration and helplessness again like I had. I had the perfect little tester, I knew the right people, I just needed to figure out how to make it happen.

And there, right then and there, in my mind at 2 AM, I started the journey that would eventually become this business baby of mine. Every day, I took one step, two steps, sometimes 10 steps in one day. Through 1,000 phone calls, endless internet research, tears and triumphs and with the best support system a girl could ask for, ReadaRoo Kids was born!

Now, parents everywhere can get weekly emails, with fun and engaging activities they can do with their little learners. We take care of *almost everything so you can finally hit the easy button.
