I Am Going to Bake Today is an autism-friendly, Gestalt language-friendly baking book designed to help children build confidence, independence, and everyday life skills through fun, step-by-step baking activities.

With visual supports, predictable routines, simple language, and engaging recipes, this book encourages children of all abilities to learn, communicate, and create while making delicious treats. Perfect for families, educators, therapists, and support workers, I Am Going to Bake Today turns baking into a joyful learning adventure where every child can succeed.

I am a devoted wife, mother of four beautiful children—Cooper, Jackson, Charleigh, and Kelsie—and a passionate advocate for inclusion, learning, and connection.

Inspired by my youngest daughter, Kelsie, I created I Am Going to Bake Today to help children of all abilities build confidence, independence, and joy through baking.

As the mother of a child with Autism Level 3, severe global developmental delay, savant syndrome, and Gestalt Language Processing, who communicates in her own unique way, I understand the importance of creating resources that are visual, supportive, engaging, and accessible.

Through my love of family, learning, and everyday life skills, I designed this book to support children, parents, carers, therapists, and educators to create meaningful moments together in the kitchen.

When I'm not creating, I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, making memories, sharing good food, and celebrating every small step and achievement along the way.

Through this book, I hope to inspire children to discover that baking is more than making food—it is an opportunity to learn, connect, communicate, and shine.

Every child learns differently. Every child communicates differently. Every child shines in their own beautiful way.
