My mother, Betty Pettit, suffered from Alzheimer’s disease for 11+ years. She was propelled to internet fame thru a video of her meeting herself in a mirror.

Dad’s in the kitchen making pasta like he’s been doing it his whole life! 🍝 He’s got the noodles ready, sauce on the stove, and dinner coming together one plate at a time. Nothing beats a home-cooked meal with Dad! ❤️
I honestly thought I was losing my mind, convinced I was missing pieces of this puzzle for days. Turns out, I wasn't missing them—I was just hiding them from myself! The relief when we finally shook the box and heard those pieces rattle was everything. Note to self: always check
Dad gets a kick out of Halloween mode but he can’t see well so he accidentally opened the frunk. Lol. #tesla
I showed Dad what happens when Betty gets the Tesla Roadster thruster upgrade… and now I’m not sure if he believes me or is already planning our next road trip through the clouds! 😂🚀☁️ Would you take a ride in a flying Tesla? #Tesla #FlyingCar #DadLife #AI #FamilyFun
A moment I'll always treasure. 💜 Mom told me "I love you," but she was anxious before Dad's birthday dinner and didn't want to eat. So I played "I've Been Working on the Railroad," and her big smile came right back. 🎶 Music really was magic for her. Did music reach your loved
GUESS WHAT, DAD? 🧈 Amy sent him a 2-pound log of Minerva Dairy butter, six generations of family-owned Ohio butter! Dad thinks he even read about them in his butter book. The saltine taste test: "Oh my goodness." 😋 It's going on his toast tomorrow morning. Thank you, Amy! Drop
Not doing anything productive today, and we're totally OK with that. ☔ When the rain hits, Dad goes "Bookfacin'." 📱😂 What's your rainy-day go-to? Tell us below #RainyDay #Bookfacin #DadLife #DoNothingDay #ScrollingSeason
Dad said he was going to prank me… then somehow my snack ended up all over my shirt and face! 😂 Around here, you can’t relax for one minute without Dad making a move. And at 88, he’s still quick enough to get away with it! 😆
Dad's very first fire call did NOT go as planned. 🚒😂 He backed the truck out of the fire hall... right into the side of the assistant chief's car. Everybody laughed at the assistant chief, and somehow Dad's still a member in good standing. What's your most embarrassing first
It started with a mirror. It became a community. 💜 Mom passed in July 2024, and Dad and I are still sharing her story so other families don't have to walk this road alone. If you're new here, welcome. You're not alone. 📚 #Alzheimers #Caregiver #ENDALZ #ImBetty #Grief
From Arizona to Ireland, let's talk New Year's time zones and upcoming adventures! Cruises, Disney, and book writing on the agenda. #Travel #NewYears #Adventures #CruiseLife #BookLovers
Mom's denial: Classic! When electronics go rogue, it's never her fault. Anyone else's mom do this? #MomLife #RelatableMom #FunnyFamily #Denial
Wait, did Flat Stanley just snag a book deal too? 🤯 Apparently, he’s not just flat—he’s an author now and I’ve got signed copies ready to go. My co-star here might be a total wreck (seriously, did you drool on your shirt, man?!), but at least the books look good. Snag these
Honestly, I have never seen someone make eating a donut look this dangerous. 🍩 If you’re going to tackle a powdered treat, maybe don’t wear a shirt you actually care about next time? I’m still not sure if that fix with the paper towel actually helped or just made things
Proof that wearing black while eating powdered donuts is a risky business move. 🍩 Also, who actually decided these are diet donuts? Dina clearly has a twisted sense of humor, but I’m here for it! Anyone else have a favorite snack that always ends up all over your clothes?
Running out of shelf space is officially a good problem to have, but it means these books need new homes! We just dropped a flash sale on a ton of titles, including the Betty book, Snatcher, Stanley, and my own project—which I actually relistened to as an audiobook on a road
