Seccora: Writer, Mom of 12 & Professional Chaos Manager

From foster kid in Gardena to mom of a dozen, my life’s been anything but ordinary. Married to my high school sweetheart Gregfor 22 years (he still winks at me like we’re 16), we’ve built a home where love is loud and dreams have no curfew.

Meet the Squad:

Atlas (24): Marine biologist who mails me preserved squid

Luna (22): Philosopher-poet who wears socks with sandals

Jax (20): Football-playing nurse who cries at dog reunions

Ziggy (18): Future Nobel winner (currently blowing up the garage)

Nova (16): Rebel artist who turned our fridge into a protest sign

Cosmo (14): Knows pi to 100 digits, can’t find his backpack

Pixel (12): Auteur filming horror movies about laundry piles

Bean (10): Snack smuggler with a black market for fruit snacks

Rocket (9): Thinks he’s a superhero (we don’t correct him)

Plus 3 bonus hearts we fostered and kept: Sol, Kai & Star

Why I Write? Because every kid deserves to know:

Family isn’t who you’re born to—it’s who you choose

Laughter is the best sound a home can make

Even with 12 kids, you can still chase stars (you’ll just step on Legos along the way)

Life Hack: Love big, apologize often, and always keep extra batteries for the baby monitor.
