About

Do you want to spend more time with your family?

We’ve got the perfect solution for busy moms. Glue Sticks & Gumdrops provides resources that make it easier for you and your kids to create, play, and explore together. Our recipes (especially the low carb and keto recipes) are easy enough for anyone to follow and our crafts are fun no matter what age. Plus, we have tips on everything from organizing a closet to making homemade laundry detergent!

You deserve some time away from the dishes or the laundry machine so you can reconnect with your kids – not just when they’re asleep but also during their waking hours. Let us help by providing all of these resources in one place so you don’t have to go searching around online or at stores! It’s like having an expert friend who lives right inside your computer screen!

My name is Donella, and I’m married to Jamie, my wonderful husband of 12 years. We have a 9-year-old son, Ben, who is absolutely the most hilarious, fun-loving, sweet little guy you’ve ever met. Not that I’m biased or anything. We have two pets: Buddy the Beagle and Rosie (a sweet little cat). Our sweet 11-year-old German Shepherd Apache passed away in February 2021. We miss her every day!

  • I'm Donella, the voice, heart, and wit (sometimes) behind this blog. I homeschool my pre-teen son by day and moonlight as a blogger and freelance writer. I'm a Diet Pepsi aficionado with a bookshelf that's always overflowing. My two dogs—a German Shepherd and a Beagle—are my fluffy shadows. I love planning in my bullet journal almost as much as I love hoarding notebooks and pens. I may be an introvert who missed her calling as a desert hermit, but that just gives me more time to write, right?
