Hi! I’m Shannon, a former teacher, current mom, and accidental writer.

After adopting our youngest son, it became clear that I would have to leave the teaching to manage our son’s many special needs. So, I traded the classroom for a cozy closet-turned-office at home, where I hide out and write daily. Sometimes funny but always real, I share stories, screw-ups, and practical insights about everyday life.

I live in the Pacific Northwest, where I enjoy the blanket of clouds, the drizzle of rain, and the company of my many cats—including an ample Tortie named Ginger, who thinks she owns the place. (She’s not wrong.)
