What I’ve Been Up To…
i wrote my first children’s book!
A Guiding Light in the Forest
The special power you hold to comfort a loved one when they are unwell.
When a beloved tree falls ill, the forest animals feel sad and afraid. Unsure of what to do, they ask a little boy named Owen for help and learn about the special guiding light they each have inside themselves.
Lovingly crafted to help children understand and cope with their emotions when a loved one is sick, A Guiding Light in the Forest is the perfect storybook for families to read and discuss together. The book encourages kids to open up about the difficult feelings they may be experiencing and provides guidance on how they can respond to their sick loved one. A Guiding Light in the Forest can also help a child who may be coping with their own illness.
Parents who want to engage their kids in honest discussion about emotional wellbeing and how to access hope in difficult situations will enjoy the book’s honest and positive outlook. A Guiding Light in the Forest can help families find their own special inner strength as they become caregivers.
I am so proud and excited that my book is available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble!
My hope is that other children can read my storybook and know they are not alone, whether they cope with their own illness or a loved one’s.

ANTIQUE BLACK & GOLD VANITY
The latest piece of furniture I enjoyed painting and distressing. I used napkins with gold floral detail on the drawers and painted the wooden knobs gold to add some contrast to the dark paint color I picked.
HOT WHEELS TRACK BORDER
My son loves Hot Wheels and asked for several different track sets for his Birthday. When I saw the straight track pieces, I knew I wanted to create a track border in his bedroom. I asked my husband if he could help me nail the track in place and it turned out better than I imagined.
