Trundlebed Tales Trundlebed Tales is the name you can find me under whether you want me to speak in person, listen to a podcast, or watch a YouTube video.

I serve as membership chair and Vice-President of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association that puts on the Laurapalooza conference every two years. I am official listmistress of the the Country School Association of America’s official website. I’m Foodways Re

Get those legs in motion when you visit Homestead National Historical Park, hike the trails, and celebrate America’s best idea.
