Welcome!
Thank you for visiting Thistle Hill
Thistle Hill’s purpose was built with the intention to create love and inclusion in this world.
The most powerful way I can do this is by teaching my kids a variety of topics that allow them to grow, understand, and question the world we live in.
The second most powerful to help this cause is by sharing my story. It just so happens that one of my favorite things to do is research and write.
Thistle Hill is where I share everything for others to enjoy, learn, laugh, and find some incredible Amazon goodies.
I am a neurodiverse wife, mom, virtual assistant, small business owner, and advocate of inclusion.
Thank you for visiting! Together I know we can make the world a better place for everyone.
