I am really excited to be working with Disney and Mom Select on this campaign that encourages people of all ages to tap into their Disney Side. You know the big kid that is inside all of us.

Come Celebrate Penelope’s 3rd Birthday with Us!
It seems like yesterday when I received the email from Lynette Mattke of PicPocket Books and said that they were interested in my children’s picture book, Penelope the Purple Pirate, and would like to make it into an app available on their platform. I was so excited because my dream of creating a children’s picture book and storybook app was finally coming true!

It has been three years since the storybook app became available as an iPad, iPhone and iPod app in iTunes and we wanted to have a little celebration. But at this…
