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. View more posts

Oooh, this is awesome! I’ve been to Steamboat and enjoyed the hot springs there in the winter after skiing. Such a magical place. Was surprised at the time that the water tarnished all of the silver rings and bracelets I was wearing, LOL. Now I know better.

It was magical and we had the best time! I love fall and this has been Colorado’s best color since I moved here. The magic of the beauty and being on vacation has been so special.
My trips to Steamboat haven’t been in the winter, but thanks for the heads-up!

Steamboat is famous for its skiing through trees. At least when I was there so long ago. My knees don’t do skiing anymore, LOL. I tore the ACL on my left knee and didn’t get it repaired. I thought it would be just fine on its own. Ha! Little did I know.
