I’m so excited to finally say the words out loud: my first NDkids book has officially launched! 🎉
For now, it’s only available as an eBook (because Amazon is playing hard to get with the printed version), but don’t worry – physical copies are coming soon. I’ll be the first one crying happy tears when I get to hold it in my hands!
Now here’s where things get interesting.
The other night, while putting my baby boy to sleep, I ended up telling him a very animated, very unexpected story about Kevin the Velociraptor – a dino who didn’t want to follow the usual pack rules. He wanted something more. He wanted to break free of the norm.
Well, one thing led to another… and suddenly another idea was born.
So yes – story books are coming too! 📚🦖
Granted, my illustrations are still a work in progress… let’s just say Michelangelo has nothing to worry about (yet). But I’m having way too much fun to stop now.
And while all this creativity is flowing, I’ve also been thinking about something a little more real and raw.
We live in a world that’s screaming information at moms from every direction. And somehow, despite all that noise, most of us still go into this motherhood thing blindfolded, sleep-deprived, and clinging to a cold cup of coffee.
So here’s another project that’s close to my heart:
I’m working on a parenting book – not from a professional’s perspective, but from a normal, working mom who’s just trying her best.
No filters. No fancy hacks. Just my honest trials and tribulations as a first-time mom of an almost 1-year-old.
And even if nobody wants to read my opinions (rude, but fair 😂), at least it’ll be a written reminder of all the beautiful chaos this journey has brought me.
Oh, and one more thing – collaborations with charities and NPOs are in the works, and NDkids merchandise is coming soon too! 👕✨
This is truly a passion project, born out of love, late nights, and lots of "aha!" moments.
I can’t wait to keep sharing it all with you.
Stay tuned, and thank you for being part of this adventure. 💜
