It’s taken me a while, but I wanted to finally post that we lost my mother a few months ago. Mom asked me if I would write the story of her little crocheted dress. That was 2020.

It was my great honor to tell her story.

You can find mom‘s story on Amazon… and I still have several copies as well.

Do you know someone who tends to feel anger before anything else on their less than happy days? For many of us, while we feel different emotions, sometimes they can all come out as “mad!” This book helps children identify their root emotions and gain simple skills to process their feelings that ...

What a beautiful surprise! 💗 I help out when I can in a couple local elementary schools. Today our little book about my mom’s little crocheted dress was front and center on a classroom whiteboard…it was a bit ”dog eared” which was so lovely to see. That means it has been looked through or read many times. So blessed! 🌷🌷
