Hi Ya'll, I’m starting a new newsletter series! I have been busy creating so many new books and resources that I want to make sure you don't miss out on any of the goodies. Each week, I'll be spotlighting one of my books and sharing some of the crafts, activities, and other resources I've created to go along with it. My hope is to give you a chance to discover—or rediscover—my books while finding something fun and useful to do with the kids. This week, we're talking about Bubbles and the Big...

Hi Ya'll, When I think back to my childhood summers, I remember library books, mountain hikes, beach strolls, melting ice cream cones, and spending hours outside until the sun went down.

And honestly, that's okay! I grew up in a hot, dry climate, but now I'm raising my family in the Texas heat and humidity—a...

Those activities are still available on my website, but this year looks a little different. We all go through different seasons in life, and this season for me has been about slowing down and letting my natural creative rhythm set the pace. Instead of rushing...

I’ve been reorganizing, creating dedicated library pages, and making it much easier to browse all of the free printables, crafts, lesson plans, and activities available on the website. If it’s been a while since...

Hi Ya'll, Friendship stories always seem to find their way back around when we need them most. A few years ago, I wrote a book called The Little Donkey. It started as a request from my dad—he was in a “we need a donkey” phase (your parents haven't? weird...). That idea turned into a story about friendship, acceptance, and seeing the world a little differently, including themes that gently reflect autism and neurodiversity. At the time, I also created a special edition version of the story....
