Hi, I'm Sharona!

I'm mum to twins Devan and Alyssa, and the accidental founder of a shop that started with a journal I knew I needed but realised didn't exist.

I wanted patterns. I wanted to be able to look back and see: yes, this always happens on PE days; yes, he sleeps better when we stop screen time early; yes, this trigger is the one we need to monitor. I wanted to walk into the next school meeting with data, not uncertainty.

I'm a former SEN teacher - I've sat on both sides of those meetings - and I still couldn't find the kind of tool I wanted. So I made one, for me. That was the Don't Just Survive: Thrive journal: everything in one place, structured enough to spot patterns, flexible enough to survive a bad week. Then the Meltdown Tracker, because meltdowns needed more room than the journal could give them. Then a Sleep Log, because sleep was the other thing eating us. And it kept going from there - every product started life as a page I was trying to create for myself.

Everything you'll find in Thrive Creations started this way - something I actually needed for myself and my family. And when they started making a difference to my life, I realised they could be supporting families like mine, too.

About Alyssa - Devan's twin sister. She has her own ADHD assessment later this year, and I have a million thoughts going through my head when I think about that appointment and what will come next. Luckily, my daughter has got a mum who now knows how to prepare the necessary information to share with the doctor!

About Thrive Creations - Everything here is designed for parents like us: exhausted, love our kids fiercely, constantly losing the sticky notes with the important information we absolutely must not forget. Some products are for you (the trackers, the journals, the space to think). Some are for your child (the storybooks, the workbooks, the Calm Cards). All of these are made by someone who reaches for them in her own daily life.
