Letter Bug Club was born in a quiet season of life, one where energy was low, but love and longing for connection were very much alive. When I was pregnant with my twins, I had very little energy. I also had a curious, talkative two-year-old who wanted to play, explore, and connect in the ways only little kids do. Many days, I didn’t have it in me to play the way she wanted, so instead I would ask, “Do you want to just talk with me?”

Little by little, those moments grew.

Our conversations became deeper, funnier, more thoughtful. She surprised me again and again with her insights, questions, and imagination. It was a gentle reminder that children are capable of far more than we often give them credit for, especially when it comes to meaningful conversation.

Then life changed again.

After the twins were born, my husband was diagnosed with cancer. Survival mode set in. Creativity, energy, and intentional connection felt hard to reach. Screens slowly filled the gaps where conversation once lived, and while they helped us get through a difficult season, my heart missed those moments of connection. The talking, wondering, imagining together.

This past year especially has felt heavy with that longing. Wanting to engage deeply, but not always having the mental or emotional capacity to initiate it.

That’s where Letter Bug Club began.

I wanted to create something that didn’t require parents or grandparents to come up with the idea, find the words, or summon extra energy but still created space for meaningful, in-depth connection. Something gentle. Accessible. Something that could meet families right where they are.

Letter Bug Club is an invitation.

An invitation to slow down.

To sit together.

To read, wonder, create, and talk.

Each letter is designed to spark conversation without pressure, to open the door for curiosity, imagination, and connection in a way that feels doable, even on the hardest days. It’s not about doing more. It’s about creating space for what already wants to happen.

Because children are capable of deep conversations.

And grown-ups deserve tools that make connection feel possible again.
