About Me
Who is Mama Bear Foot?I am the mother of three young boys, but the nurturer of many. I am fiercely committed to sharing knowledge, adventure, the opportunity for new experiences with families, and simply the Barefoot way of life!
Being a wife, a mother, and a friend are my most important roles in life. My husband and I have been foster parents since 2004, we have cared for 20 children in our home. We adopted our three sons, Grant (6), Luke (5), and Caleb (2). We live in the small town of East Granby with our dog, chickens, and various other critters. I am a Barefoot Books Ambassador Leader and also the Parent Liaison for the local Family Resource Center .
I first came to know Barefoot Books when I bought a used copy of Bear In a Square for the 9-month-old twins in our care. We ended up with several Bear board books and we have read them to many children, different ages and from all different backgrounds. All have loved them as much as we do!! I then happened upon Barefoot Books again at a vendor fair. I loved every book I picked up and knew in that instance I was going to begin sharing my love of Barefoot Books with everyone I knew through becoming an ambassador.
