From the Founder
Behind The Books
🎨 Create, Connect, & Celebrate Series
With two toddlers just thirteen months apart, life in our house is loud, lively, and full of surprises. Rather than letting the chaos overwhelm us, we’ve chosen to lean in — to create and connect together through play. I’ve teamed up with my amazing mom to bring this series to life, crafting hands-on activities and fun holiday-themed books that are tested, tweaked, and approved by our toughest critics: my kids. Every page is designed with real family life in mind — to spark joy, creativity, and quality time.
📒 Planners from a Friend Series
This series is where Familyful began. It all started with a marriage planner — inspired by the honest, hard, beautiful conversations I’ve shared with my husband over nearly a decade. We’ve walked through IVF, miscarriage, and deep grief together, and we’ve come out stronger for it. I wanted to create tools that help couples prepare not just for a wedding, but for a marriage. From there, the vision expanded — why not make planners for pregnancy, for newborn days, for postpartum healing? I write what I know, and I believe deeply that women deserve to be supported through all the sacred, messy seasons of life. These planners are the pages I wish I had — now passed on, from one friend to another.
💫 The Adventures of Pat and Jack
This series began as a simple joy: my dad telling wild, magical bedtime stories to my two boys. When I asked if we could turn his stories into children’s books, he replied with an enthusiastic “Of course!” And just like that, The Adventures of Pat and Jack was born — inspired by our own boys and created in memory of my late father-in-law, lovingly known as Grandpa Pat in Heaven. Each story holds a piece of family, imagination, and legacy, with the boys receiving tokens from their heavenly Grandpa as they explore new adventures. It’s a collection written with love, laughter, and deep roots.
