Back in July, I was spending 8 hours a day by my newborn daughter's bassinet in the NICU.

She had come six weeks early, and sleeping was her full-time job.

I’d hold her for most of those hours, stepping away only to scarf down a granola bar or rush to the bathroom.

By the end of each day, my body ached from sitting, and my heart ached (huge understatement) as I dragged myself out of that building without her.

While I was there, my heart also longed for my toddler son. I’d promised myself we’d soak up more one-on-one time before Novi arrived, but life had other plans.

What helped a lot during those long days was daydreaming of little, silly ways to make the kids laugh once we were all home together again.

Not like actual games or structured activities — just tiny, random moments of joy we could share in the midst of everything.

I started jotting down every quirky idea that made me smile, typing into my notes app as machines beeped around me and nurses bustled in and out.

Those notes became Little Moments for Big Laughs.

It’s for anyone who wants to loosen up, laugh more with their kids, and bring more playfulness into their day, no matter how tired or serious they feel.

Inside you’ll find:

• An ebook with over 100 simple, silly moments, plus anecdotes and effective tips for embracing silliness.
• A reflection journal you can fill out on your phone, computer, or print to journal by hand.
• Four cute printable calendars sent monthly to help you keep playful moments top of mind.
• Gentle email nudges over four months to encourage you to keep the laughs going and ensure this isn't a resource you download once and forget about.

Back in the NICU, even in the sadness and stress, I knew laughter would play a huge part in our family’s healing.

And while there’s still unprocessed trauma, laughter has already brought so much light to this season.

I’m so honored to share this new creation with the world.

My hope is that it helps many families heal, connect, and find joy in the smallest, silliest moments — even if just for a few seconds at a time.

Because those little moments add up in a big way.
