About Renee
A former elementary school teacher with a master’s in literacy, Renee brings both educational insight and lived experience to the page. She and her husband Dan, a retired military judge and officer in the U.S. Air Force, raised eight children across six states and two countries — from Utah to the Philippines. Her first book Don’t Come in Here! Mom’s Throwing Spaghetti! also captured the beautiful chaos of parenting with humor and heart.
