✨ P**F — MAGIC! 🪄🍀

One month: 89 + 1 (not sold on Amazon) = 90 books!!
MAGIC IS KINDNESS
MAGIC IS IMAGINATION
MAGIC IS BELIEVING

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
YOU ARE THE MAGIC ✨

I signed my very first book — we all did! What an amazing memory for our family. 💛 I’m sending it to a little girl whose sparkle was dimmed last St. Patrick’s Day. She was so proud of her Leprechaun trap at school, only to come home disappointed. My hope is that this book will be the spark to light her sparkle again!
Please remember: you’re never too old to wonder, and there’s no age limit on kindness. 🍀🪄

Happy Valentine's Day ♥️

Roses are red, shamrocks are green,
Next month you celebrate me, I’ll be seen!

Today there will be no heartache,
Next month there’ll be green milkshakes.

Start making your traps for when I come over,
But make sure you have a real four-leaf clover 🍀

Sending lots of love to you all today ♥️🪄





Don't forget about my book signing event on March 14th!!

79 orders processed… 79!! 🤯

When I first wrote this book, I told myself I’d be happy if I reached 20 sales. Today is February 10th and my very first published book has sold 79 copies.

I’m honestly a little in disbelief — but mostly just incredibly grateful. Thank you to everyone who has bought a copy, shared my story, supported me, or even cheered me on quietly from the sidelines. It all matters more than you know. 💚

This story means so much to me, and I love knowing my kiddos will always have it as part of their story too.
Next goal: 100 copies!

Help me get there? 🍀🪄

And if you’ve read the book, a positive Amazon review would mean the world to me — reviews truly help small authors grow!

Fun fact:
The idea for this book came from Alyce and Bryce making a leprechaun trap 🍀
I started researching — has a leprechaun ever actually been caught, or do they always just play tricks?
What I discovered is that leprechauns haven’t been caught. In fact, legend says you can only catch one with the help of a 4-leaf clover. That’s all I needed to hear… because I’ve found at least 100 in my lifetime 😉
So I thought, Alyce and Bryce are going to catch a leprechaun.
Then I started asking them what they would do if they had a leprechaun all day… and their REAL answers made it into the book.
And that’s how the story began 🍀✨

I've been thinking about taking the leprechaun magic one step further…
What if there was a plush leprechaun that parents could place out the morning of St. Patrick’s Day after the kids build their traps—so it looks like he really visited? 🍀✨
Is this something you’d actually buy for your family, or is the book + traps enough on its own?

***Concept idea — not a product yet!

🍀 Morning Reflection 🍀

The first thing I saw on my phone this morning was a reminder I really needed. I swear God is a mind reader sometimes. As I reflected on fine-tuning a few things, I felt a gentle reminder settle on my heart. As someone who naturally struggles with self-doubt and can be my own worst critic, it was a much-needed pause to remember that imperfection is not failure—it’s holy ground for growth.

I’m learning to give myself grace in the process, trusting that refinement doesn’t mean something was wrong, but that care and love are being poured into it. God meets us right where we are, even in the details we’re still polishing.

I’m grateful for the quiet reminders, the lessons along the way, and the peace that comes with letting go of perfection (even when it’s hard to do).

Top of the morning to you all! 💚✨
