By day, I am a mother of three. By night…I am also a mother of three. Because you better believe that if the baby miraculously sleeps through the night, one of the other kids will wake up with a nightmare or a request for a bright, loud family trip to the loo.

Parenting never stops and writing provides a creative outlet that soothes the soul and keeps the mental breakdowns at bay.

I’ve always loved sharing the messiest parts of raising kids by re-enacting the stories for family and friends. If I don’t laugh at the impossible situations my children create, I’d probably cry. It was only natural that the fifth middle-of-the-night feed became a frenzied rush to write down the latest parenting obstacle.

Developing an ability to see the humour in day to day situations has made raising kids so much easier. I hope that my books give parents and children a reason to laugh and act as a reminder to find the joy in every day.
