About Me!

Hi there! I’m Mandie, a proud mother of two and a published author with works under two distinct pen names.

In addition to my writing, I wear the hat of an entrepreneur and mentor other budding authors as an author coach.

With the whirlwind of responsibilities and commitments, I realized the importance of self-care and taking moments for oneself.

Thus, “Taking Time for Mommy” was born – a space where I share my journey, insights, and the importance of self-care amidst the chaos of motherhood.
