Welcome to Ordinary Animals!
Hi! I’m Danielle.
Ordinary Animals is my writing project about being human—and raising humans—in our wild, modern, tech-crazy world.
I’m a mom of two boys: R, my seven-year-old—a glasses-wearing, red-curly-haired Dennis the Menace type with a serious sweet streak—and L, my baby smoosh, who just turned one.
We recently moved out of Brooklyn and onto the beach, embracing a whole new kind of wild.
I am also an Early Childhood Educator with over a decade of experience working in progressive, play-based preschools, including some truly lovely Reggio Emilia and Montessori schools.
The age-2-and-under set are my absolute favorite, and my expertise if I do say so myself!
I have a Master’s in Early Childhood Ed, and certifications in Newborn Care and Kids’ Yoga and Mindfulness.
I love long walks, reading, and thrifting.
I’m so, so happy to be writing here.
I have some wild ideas to explore, including:
🧡 Wild Tech
🧡 Wild Nature
🧡 Wild Matrescence
🧡 Wild Play
🧡 Wild Motherhood
