Hi!  How exciting!  My own website to tell you that my dream of becoming a published author of children’s picture books has come true. 

First though, let me tell you a little about myself.  I have one brother.  I have been married for forty years to my wonderful husband and have had two exceptional children: a daughter and a son.  We are the proud grandparents of three granddaughters and one grandson. 

I am a teacher by profession.  I began my career at the age of seventeen.  I taught in both Ste. Rose Elementary and Ecole Laurier (a Français school) within the Turtle River School Division until 2005.   I dedicated myself to teaching Kindergarten, Grade 1 and Grade 2 but had to stop for health reasons.  Teaching allowed me to use my creativity and to work with little ones. 

I have always enjoyed writing.  All throughout my adult life I have journaled and written poetry.  While teaching I wrote plays for the Christmas concerts because it was so difficult to find something suitable for combined classes.  Now that I don’t have a 9:00 to 5:00 job I have the time to write.  I started writing children’s stories as gifts for my grandchildren. They are my inspiration.  
Most of the ideas for my stories are drawn from daily occurrences, familiar places and family activities.

I love to play with my grandchildren, play scrabble with my friends, paint, read, dance, sing and listen to music.  I especially love to go fishing (summer and winter) with my husband.
