Self-publishing a book involves a LOT more than writing “The End.” 📚 These are the tools, resources, and supplies I’ve used - or found genuinely helpful - along the way from manuscript to published book and my first author event. I’ve organized everything by stage so you can find what you need whether you’re still working on your manuscript, designing your book, getting ready to publish, or preparing to put your books on a table and actually meet readers! I’ll keep adding to this list as I learn more along the way.

Fall is my favorite season - and one of the ‘ber’ months is my birthday month, so this cozy stretch of the year feels extra special to me! 🍂 From pumpkin spice and flannels to candles, décor, and holiday-ready finds, this list is filled with my personal fall favorites. Think crisp mornings, golden afternoons, and festive nights… all the cozy, seasonal must-haves that make the ‘ber’ months unforgettable.

Game night can be just the hubby and I, family, friends, or playing at a local store. Always fun and these are our favorites that we enjoy.

Tired of hemming everything you buy - or worse, settling for clothes that never quite fit right? Same. This list is made just for us: women who are shorter in stature and fuller in figure, and totally done with fashion that forgets we exist. These brands offer petite plus-size options or styles that actually work for short, curvy bodies - no weird waist gaps, no dragging pant legs, no more pretending that tunic is a dress. From comfy everyday basics to occasionwear that finally hits at the right spot, every pick here is chosen with real bodies (and real frustration) in mind. Because you shouldn’t have to choose between cute and comfortable - or spend a fortune tailoring clothes that should’ve just fit in the first place.
