POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

🌲✨ Meet Wild Mindfulness — a mindful adventure about a young camper who discovers the wonder of nature one mindful moment at a time.

From sleeping in her camper to exploring the forest, from fireflies to fishing—this story encourages kids to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience the outdoors with all their senses—even while inside. Guided imagery pauses throughout the book invite children to close their eyes, imagine, and reconnect with the peacefulness of nature — no matter where they are.

Perfect for families, classrooms, or anyone who wants to nurture calm and curiosity on their next camping trip (or even right at home).

Let’s wander, wonder, and breathe together.

Your Wild Mindfulness is ready to grow!
🧘‍♀️🌿🦋

Calling all educators, teachers, parents, grandparents, and anyone wanting to foster well-being within children!

Let me introduce you to:

🌈🧠 Where Do You Go? 🧠🌈

What does your calm place look like? Feel like? Smell like?

This book invites children to explore the power of their imagination — to discover a peaceful, safe place inside their minds, where they can go anytime they need to feel calm and secure.

Through guided imagery and gentle questions, Where Do You Go? helps kids build their own inner sanctuary, reminding them that peace is always within reach.

✨ Empower little hearts and minds to create their own happy place. ✨

It’s here! It’s live! A new little book baby is born!
Happy release day for The Intention and Reflection journal! 🥳
Take a look at the video to hear me embrace the awkward 🤓 and share some more about it and what’s inside!
You can find the link to purchase in my bio link tree! You can also get it from me in person for a few bucks cheaper than online (my shipment will be here next week!)
As always thanks for any support and good vibes sent my way on this project and if you get one and love it, make sure to leave a review and pass it on! It would be so appreciated!
I hope it brings you light and peace!
Happy journaling!

Over the years, so many of you have reached out with the same question: “I have an idea for a children’s book. Where do I even start?”

I LOVE those messages, and I’ve loved sharing what I’ve learned along the way. But I kept finding myself explaining the same things again and again, so I finally put it all in one place.

I created a step-by-step guide for anyone who has ever dreamed of writing a children’s book. It covers everything I wish someone had handed me at the beginning:

-Shaping your idea, characters, and message
-Word count, page count, and trim sizes
-Finding an illustrator
-Self-publishing with IngramSpark and other platforms
-Pricing, promotion, and a launch checklist
-and more!

It’s a 17-page PDF with instant download, so you can start whenever you’re ready.

If you’ve been wondering, or if you know someone who is, the link is in my bio. And as always, I’m cheering you on and would love to hear your ideas! by @lauralarsonwrites

For your little adventurer!
May their boots get muddy, their hearts stay curious, and their feelings have room to grow!
My books invite young explorers into the magic of nature—helping them slow down, breathe deep, and notice both the world around them and the world inside.
A meaningful holiday gift for tiny trailblazers + big feelers.
Consider filling your shopping bags with small business goods and local shops this season to help bring back the magic of one of a kind and keep the creativity alive!

Was on a cleaning and organizing frenzy and found this old draft I made for my journal. It’s fun to look back and see the roots of what’s now alive.
A gentle reminder: the things we dream up in quiet moments can take shape in ways we can’t even imagine yet.
What are you dreaming up today? Even if it’s just for you….Take this as a nudge to GO FOR IT!
