Hello! Thanks for stopping by! Here is a little about me:

Diane’s roles as a wife, mama, and nana to her family are most important to her. She is also farmer and caregiver to the various animals and resident photographer at “de Good Life Farm”.

Diane doesn’t remember a time she didn’t love words and writing! She says potential stories are always rolling around in her head. In 2019, she added the title of published author to her description when she published her first two “de Good Life Farm” books: My Name is Mocha and My Name is Merlin. She currently has 15 children’s books published. with 2 more close to release! Eight of her published books are part of the “de Good Life Farm” series about the animals on her farm and their job there; one is a middle grades historical fiction chapter book and the rest are fun, fiction picture books, several of which are based on true life events. More books are in various stages of publication! See the Books tab for more information on individual books and to order.

As a former homeschool mom, she is helping to homeschool one of her granddaughters. This both energizes and thrills her to be a part of her educational journey! It reminds her of the days of homeschooling her boys which were some of the happiest days of her life!

Diane fills her days here at the farm with chores, loving and caring for the animals, capturing special moments on her camera, and writing stories and books inspired by the lives around her.  Caring for the critters is anything but mundane and although it’s not always pretty and not usually easy, to her it’s easily pretty wonderful! She is so thankful for the privilege to live the good life on “de Good Life Farm”.
