Author: Doodling Through Life

When I doodle, whether it be swirls or figurines, I am transformed to a world in which my doodles live, and my thoughts become clear. My mind breathes. I used to teach second grade. Now, I am a Stay-At-Home-Mother to three girls, a seasonal family photographer, and an around-the-clock-children's book author who gets distracted by my camera and buttery sunlight. Thank you for stopping by!
