I’ve got a brand new website, thanks to the amazing Websy Daisy Web Design! Feel free to click on the menu tabs above if you’d like to check out each page. Talented Jenny Medford did a wonderful job and it all turned out to be just the way I wanted the site to look. She’s also very good about answering all questions and explaining how everything works. If you didn’t receive this infrequent announcement by email and wish you had, please find the grasshopper to the right or at bottom of this post, depending on what device you’re reading on, and sign up.
In changing over to a new site, I lost a couple of pages, by choice. While other pages, like this blog, were easily incorporated into the new format. One of the pages I left out was called: Kids and Books. Today I asked myself: Why not bring them over to my new online home via their very own post?
When my first books came out, I used to take pictures of some of my young customers at fairs and other events (with permission 🙂 ). Because I didn’t announce where they could be seen, most people never saw that page. But those books have been out for a while, the first one way back in 2013, and I realized these kids are all grown up now. So why not share their beautiful faces! Besides, that way I get to carry them along on this new adventure.
p.s. When looking at past posts, please note the previous formatting got a little messed up, but the gist of them is all still there. Onward!


Great fun to see all these happy kids with your books! Your new website is beautiful!!
Thanks so much, Maura!
I hope the former children are enjoying these pictures, now that they are a little older. What a wonderful idea to show past pictures!
And congratulations on the new site!
