We’re so excited to share something special with this community — our new children’s book, Hello, Au Pair!

This is a gentle, rhyming story designed to help young kids (ages 2–6) navigate the big emotions that come with welcoming a new au pair. Whether it’s your first au pair or part of a transition, the book helps children understand their feelings, build connection, and feel excited about what’s ahead.

It includes moments families know well — meeting at the airport, sharing meals, learning about each other’s cultures — all centered around one message:
our hearts have no borders.

A huge thank you to our incredibly talented illustrator, Jessalyn Link, Ruby Sue Studio for bringing this story to life so beautifully.

If you’re preparing for a new au pair or currently in transition, I hope this can be a helpful tool for your family.
You can find it on Amazon by searching Hello, Au Pair!

If your heart skips a beat every time you see another soldier… you understand.

That mix of pride and worry doesn’t really go away. It just gets quieter—and heavier—over time.

Pocket Psalms for Military Moms was written for those moments.
Short, honest prayers for the waiting, the wondering, and everything in between.

If this feels familiar, this book is for you.

“When we can’t be together, keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever.”

Every military family understands this in a way most people don’t.

Distance doesn’t change the love—but it does make the quiet moments harder.

Watching your child become a soldier changes something in you.

The pride is real.
But so is the quiet weight that comes with it.

You don’t stop being their mom—you just learn to love, trust, and pray from a distance.

Pocket Psalms for Military Moms was written for that shift.
For the moments when you don’t have the words, but still need them.
