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.

Hi Ya'll The calendar says we are heading into fall, but here in Texas, the thermometer still says summer! Even though we may not be pulling out sweaters or enjoying crisp autumn mornings just yet, a new season is beginning. School supplies are appearing in stores, lesson plans are being made, and families everywhere are getting ready for a new year of learning however that looks for you, it's a season of preparation. For many of us, that means it’s time to refresh our craft supplies! Whether...

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. Sound familiar? Fast forward too many years, and today it often means staying close to the air conditioning, spending time in my craft room, reading, creating, and dreaming up new ideas. 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...

Hi Ya'll, Summer has always been a season for creativity around here. In past years, I’ve shared my Summer Boredom Buster series—a collection of ideas to help families fill those long summer days with reading, creating, and exploring. 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...

Hi Ya'll, For the past few months I've been working hard behind the scenes, I noticed how clunky the Free Resource Library had become, so I gave it a much-needed refresh! (The password is still 'printables'.) As the library has grown, it was becoming harder to find everything. So... 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....
