    Creative Fabrica Is A Teacher’s Best Friend

    In the days before Fashion-mommy, I had another career, that of a primary school teacher. It was a role I loved but it was not without its problems, one of which was the endless amount of planning involved in creating fabulous lessons and the resources to go with them.
