Mind Body Classroom in action is wonderful to witness! Mixing storytelling with empathy and connection seemed to really inspire creativity in these young writers. (Wait until you hear the applause they got after reading their final products to the class!)

I brought my imagination, visualization and creativity tools to th Elementary Learning Center at . Together, the older kids created stories based on the secret lives of the younger kids’ favorite stuffied animals or comfort items. So many adventures were had in our imaginations! Stick around as I share some of how these imagination boosters helped these awesome students create!

Hi, I’m Susanne from Mind Body Bedtime 🌙
If you’re a parent of a 3–5-year-old who loves construction vehicles 🚧🚒🚛
and bedtime feels hard… this is for you.

There’s a free kids meditation on the Insight Timer app called
“Backup Trucks (It’s Bedtime)” — created to help kids who need a little extra support winding down.
Many parents say their kids don’t even make it to the end before they fall asleep 😴

You can find me at mindbodybedtime.com
Try this gentle, playful bedtime help as you build your 2026 routine ✨

I don’t usually stop to celebrate myself…
but today I am. ✨

I’ve written a handful of books rooted in calm, connection, and love:

📖 Mind, Body, Bedtime — peaceful games to help kids wind down
📚 Mind, Body, Classroom — mindfulness for preschool through grade 5
💫 Big Is Small — a bedtime hug in book form, about safety in the world
🐾 Except for Thomas — a love story between a woman and her mischievous dog… and how that mischief saves the day

I write books that are thoughtful, gentle, and connecting.

Ama loves Thomas even though his default mode is
troublemaker:
digging up the garden,
stealing snacks from the counter,
escaping and chasing deer like it’s his full time job.

Thomas’s antics frustrate Ama, but one night, it’s
those very antics that save her.

His paws maybe be full of mud, but his heart is full of
love.
If you’ve ever been frustrated by the ones you love-
this book is for you
(Watch for it on Amazon - October 20th!)
