Hi everyone, I can’t believe I am a blogger now! Well, here it is. The first one.

Welcome to Shelly Mack Books. It’s not long till the release of my first book, The Turtle and the Spider. I’m so excited to see it in print and I can’t wait to share it will all of you.

My oldest daughter said to me tonight when holding her turtle teddy, ‘Mummy I’m looking after this turtle, it’s the same one from my story.’ I had to smile as there would be absolutely no story without her, as she and her sister inspired it!  Today is their 4th and 3rd birthday and they are my everything, so I have written a poem for them that I wish to share with all of you. Happy Monday everyone. Till next time.

To
My Girls

Your birthday is here. You’re turning four and three.
It’s happening way too fast, your dad and I agree!

From babies to toddlers, with minds of your own,
It’s completely amazing to see how you’ve grown.

When your Dad and I became, husband and wife,
we needed two little girls to complete our life.

We love you both more than you could ever know.
We experience joy each day, watching you grow.

And even in the moments where there are rivers of tears,
just know we are there to calm all your fears.

Make mistakes and learn, be kind and fair,
stay close to each other my beautiful pair.

Happy Birthday, my girls, I love you both always.
Today, tomorrow, till the end of my days.

Love
Your Mama xxx
