From funny mom-brain moments to silly animal adventures, our stories help kids smile and parents feel seen.

One of our favorite reviews came from a customer who watched two older ladies flip through our book, laughing out loud and saying how accurately it captured their memories of raising kids.
That’s exactly why this book exists.
If you’re in the thick of parenthood right now—surviving on coffee, stepping on toys, repeating yourself for the hundredth time today—know that you’re not alone. The chaos, the exhaustion, the hilarious moments that seem impossible at the time... they’re part of a story so many families share.
And for those whose children are grown, we hope this book brings back the memories that time has softened into laughter.
Because someday, today’s overwhelming moments become tomorrow’s favorite stories.
To every family, whether you’re living it or remembering it: this one’s for you. ❤️

So fun getting to volunteer at the book fair and see the kiddos 🫶🏼 we are SOOO thankful to everyone who supported us and bought a copy of our book What Was I Doing Again? Your one purchase meant supporting a local family, the school, and a local indie bookstore!

We’ve worked so hard publishing children’s books on our own. When the local indie bookstore who sells our book was doing the book fair at my kids’ elementary school it was the perfect opportunity for us to put it there, out with their favorite celebrity authors! 😍😭 I hope they know they can do ANYTHING in this lifetime and I hope they never forget this moment seeing OUR book there. I am so thankful God gave us this gift to do together and thankful for our amazing community 🫶🏼

‼️Last-minute Mother’s Day gift guide for the procrastinators:

Motherhood is exhausting, beautiful, chaotic… and usually fueled by cold coffee. So this year, skip the generic gift and grab something that actually gets her 🩷

You can pick up a copy of our book TODAY at a local bookstore, Rustling Pages Book Cafe in Waterford, PA!—no shipping date stress required.

Support a small, women + veteran-owned business
AND give her something that makes her laugh and feel seen.
That’s a win.

We are ready for the book reading Saturday at McCord Memorial Library! We made mini versions of our books as notebooks and have water-bottle stickers and bookmarks for any kids who come. To celebrate our new book and the girls’ birthdays we are also giving out free sugar cookies and if I haven’t said it enough, look how TALENTED Toni-Lou Creations is!!!! These cookies are above and beyond what I imagined she even made a laundry basket with socks and spelled our names with blocks! 🥹🩷 I HIGHLY recommend her if you are looking for the tastiest and prettiest cookies for your special events 20/10.
