Hi, I’m Terri Buckley, the heart behind T’s Haven—a space where pets, creativity, family, and storytelling all meet.

I’m a wife, mom, educator and lifelong animal lover, a small-family breeder, and children’s book author, who has spent decades surrounded by classrooms, critters, and kids with big imaginations. Whether I'm raising miniature dachshunds, writing a new story, camping with my family, or helping my own children chase their creative sparks, my days are full of the moments that later become the books, journal pages, and products you see here.

T’s Haven grew from a simple idea:
Celebrate the joy pets bring, encourage families to connect, and create things that make people smile.

You’ll find that woven into everything I make—children’s stories about screen-free adventures, pet journals that capture a lifetime of memories, nature-inspired designs, and products that brighten the everyday.

When I’m not writing or designing, you can usually find me:

caring for my dachshunds and labs

Tending to our sugar gliders or tortoises

Sitting under the sun, moon, or stars (my favorite view)

Camping with my family as we explore new chapters together

At Farmers Markets and festivals sharing my creativity

Taking photos and videos that become part of my story

Thanks for being here. I hope T’s Haven inspires you to slow down, enjoy your pets, cherish your people, and live creatively—one page, one walk, one wagging tail at a time.
