With lower temperatures, pumpkins, and parent-teacher conferences, the tell-tale signs of the fall season are here. With multiple vendor events coming up and my latest book at the printer, I want to recognize how grateful I am to everyone who has supported everything I've been working on lately.

Thank you for every pre-order of The Adventures of Ella Bella (you can order here if you still need to). I'm beyond excited to get this story into your hands!

I also wanted to give you a heads-up about some upcoming events so you can mark your calendars and do some Christmas shopping. Clearly, with the onset of fall comes the onset of premature Christmas décor at every store you visit. But one thing you won't have to worry about this year is finding special and unique gifts for your little ones.

In the coming weeks, I’ll showcase my holiday bundles with wrapping options, too, because a book is a gift you can open again and again!

I’d love to hear some of your fall plans as Halloween approaches. We’re headed to our favorite pumpkin patch this weekend—I can’t wait for those cider donuts!

Take a moment today to realize how wonderful your life is. You are amazing, and you can do big things. Stay tuned for next week’s blog—I have some exciting family news to announce and an Ella Bella giveaway!

Have a great weekend, and happy reading!
