Miles is keeping Maggie busy 😂

She puts one toy away and he’s already dropping the next one. Little brothers keep things interesting!

Today, I was fortunate enough to visit Harvard University’s campus for the first time, and it all feels very real now.

This fall, I will be pursuing my Ed.M. in Education Leadership, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and I am so ready! Ready to learn, ready to conduct meaningful research, ready to connect with others who are passionate about education, and ready to bring new ideas to my life’s work, including my Max & Maggie series.

I’m especially grateful that through a combination of grants and the Saul Zaentz Fellowship, my tuition is fully funded!

Five months ago, I wasn’t even thinking about grad school and had no idea this program existed. Once I found it, I knew this was exactly where I needed to be. It’s a great reminder that our lives can change very quickly if we are open, aware, and willing to make a move when the opportunity arises.

I’m looking forward to strengthening my ability to lead and build, and turning ideas into something tangible. I’ll see you all in August!

I had the chance to visit The Newport School as a guest author for their Brownsville Books and Brownies event. I read aloud my book, “Max Learns to Be a Gentleman,” and I loved hearing the children share their favorite parts of the story and what being kind looks like to them. Moments like that are why I wrote this book. “Max Learns to Be a Gentleman” is available on Amazon and makes a meaningful gift for the little ones in your life, especially during the holidays. 💙📚 taken in I.S. 184 the Newport School by @maxmaggiebooks

Stopped by @brooklynbookbodega today to grab a few new books for my class and to donate copies of my own book, Max Learns to Be a Gentleman. I love what this organization is doing for kids across NYC. Their mission is to help families build 100+ book homes, giving children real access to stories, knowledge, and imagination. They host free events, support literacy in the community, and make it possible for every child to feel like books belong to them. Grateful to be a small part of that mission and excited for Max to find his way into new little hands. 📚✨ by @maxmaggiebooks

Raising a kind, respectful little boy starts with the small moments.
Bedtime stories. Gentle reminders. Watching how he treats others.

Max Learns to Be a Gentleman is a heartwarming children’s book that teaches manners, respect, and confidence through a loving family story your child will actually enjoy.

If you want your son to grow into a thoughtful, well-mannered young man, this is a beautiful place to begin.

Perfect for ages 3 to 7.

7 Days to Go! 💛

We’re officially in the final week of the Max & Maggie’s Family Values Kickstarter and I can’t believe how far we’ve come. The illustrations are done, the first book is in hand, and we’re over 70% funded thanks to all of YOU.

This series means so much to me. It’s about planting seeds of kindness, confidence, and character in children while giving families a beautiful way to bond through storytime.

With just 7 days left, now’s the time to share, support, and help us cross the finish line. Every pledge, big or small, makes a difference. We are so close to bringing this dream to life!

Thank you again for believing in me and in the heart behind these books.

Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads who lead with love, strength, and presence 💛

In the Max & Maggie series, Daddy is a steady guide, teaching by example, showing kindness, and reminding his children what it means to be responsible and respectful. He’s not just in the background, he’s part of the foundation that helps shape who Max and Maggie are becoming.

Here’s to the fathers who show up, speak life, and make home a safe and loving place to grow. We celebrate you today and every day.

Meet Daddy
Daddy is strong, steady, and full of heart. He teaches Max how to take responsibility and shows Maggie what it means to be cherished. From fixing things around the house to spending quality time with his kids, Daddy’s love is active, present, and protective.

He’s not just a provider, he’s a guide, a role model, and a safe place to land. In every story, he reminds us that good fathers shape futures. 💛 by @maxmaggiebooks

Meet Mommy!
Mommy is the heart of the home, gentle, wise, and full of love. Whether she’s helping Maggie pick the right outfit or showing Max how to be thoughtful, she leads by example. Her patience and quiet strength shape the way her children see the world and themselves.

She reminds us that a mother’s love isn’t just felt, it’s lived through the little lessons, the daily care, and the values passed down with every hug and kind word. 💛 by @maxmaggiebooks

Meet Miles
Miles is the littlest member of the family, but he’s already stealing hearts. Whether he’s babbling from his high chair or crawling after Max and Maggie, he reminds everyone to slow down and enjoy the little moments.

He doesn’t say much yet, but he’s always watching, learning, and lighting up the room with his smile. You’ll be seeing more of him soon 💛 by @maxmaggiebooks
