Additional biographical information

So why is my store called *Purple Log*? 💜 *The Purple Log* was originally the name of my educational company where I developed and ran enrichment programs such as Creative Drama and Creative Writing for schools. The name itself comes from a fantasy story I created for my children when they were very young, all about a magical forest filled with purple logs. They loved it, and as they've grown into wonderfully creative adults, the name has become a meaningful reminder of those early stories and the joy of inspiring imagination. Today, my hope is to continue that same spirit of curiosity and creativity through the resources I create. These include math and literacy for early learners, as well as creative drama strategies to integrate SEL with Language Arts in a fun and experiential way.
