2019: My Year of Self-Care

I was pretty selfish in 2019 and I mean that in the best way possible. Self-care was a big focus. If there’s anything I’ve learned as a book publicist for life coaches, it’s that we must be the best version of ourselves in order to properly care for our families and also to achieve our…

And there’s also empathy because I know not all children in the world are fortunate enough to have all their wishes come true. Since becoming a mom, I’m super…

Little update on @princessgenevievebook. I got my first draft of layout back from the printing company and didn’t LOVE the final look, which is a bit of a bummer. So I went back to my amazing designer @fireflygraphicdesign (who did not do the layout, I must clarify) and she is creating some more images for…

Right before my family and I left for our first trip to Disney World, I had one princess on my mind- -Princess Genevieve! That’s right. The main character in my new children’s book, inspired by my five-year-old daughter. I worked my butt off editing, pulling later nights than I would have liked when I was…

Family fun: take your kids to dinner where they barely eat anything except for the french fries. Reward them for not eating by ordering special shakes for dessert that one barely drinks and the other uses his straw to splash it everywhere. Then, go to Target because it’s next door and duh, Target. Buy things…

Princess Genevieve Update

I’ve been reading drafts of @princessgenevievebook to my girl throughout my writing process. She tries to memorize the words so she can pretend she is reading along with me. It’s really cute. But I keep editing and the words keep changing on her! Now that I added a pop star line, Genevieve requested that I…
