Charlie before we met him!

Love at first sight! 😍

Charlie’s a great hiker and climber!

He reminds me to stop and smell the flowers.

He’s willing to get dirty in the name of fun!

And he is happy to get cleaned up and looking his best!

Charlie wants to operate heavy machinery.

Charlie loves forest life!

But the thing Charlie loves most is being close to Mama!

Happy birthday Charlie! 🎂💝🎂

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.

  9. What a sweetheart! Nice thing about doodles is that you can bathe those dirty paws (and all the rest) in the tub. Our dog only gets outside baths, and we have to unclog the drain constantly in the place where we bathe her. Happy b-day to Charlie!

    1. Thank you! He has a wonderful day!
      Yesterday we took a hike on a very muddy trail. His paws had more mud than I think I’ve ever seen before. He’s a good sport about it and after he dried off, he left me brush his legs. 😊
