From MiMi’s heart
Stories about the little lessons that matter most.
Tanya “MiMi” Dale created Goodheart Grove as a place where children can laugh, explore and learn alongside a group of friends who are wonderfully different from one another.
Every story is built around a simple idea: be kind, be brave, help when you can, and always lead with a good heart.
— Tanya “MiMi” Dale ♥
“May you always have kind hearts, curious minds, and enough courage to be exactly who God created you to be.”
