About Me
My Story
Hi! I’m so glad you came to this page so I can share about who I am. My name is Lori, I was born and raised in the South Bay Area of California, and have lived in the Sacramento region of California for over 20 years. I’ve been married to my husband for 40 years. My three wonderful kids are married to amazing spouses, and I have three of the cutest grandchildren in the world. If we were in person I’d show you some pictures, like any good nana would.
I was a professional clown for 10 years, from 1993 to 2003. I performed all over the Santa Clara Valley as Sparkle the Clown at many birthday parties, company picnics, grand openings, and wedding receptions. I also did face painting when the San Jose Sharks were in the playoffs in the 90’s and early 2000’s. I retired from “clowning around” in 2003 to focus on my family and an entrepreneurial business my husband and I started.
Recently I felt like it was time to start performing again. Unfortunately, clowns have become scary to many people. So as I thought about the experiences I’ve had, and now being a nana, I realized there is a great need for a grandmotherly influence on kids. My own grandchildren live out of state, and I think there are a lot of kids that don’t have their grandparents nearby. I love the idea of offering wholesome entertainment, with a bit of nana love and fun sprinkled in. I’m a fun-loving and caring nana. I write books and create videos that teach kids life lessons and develop positive character traits. I’m also an ordained minister, and it is my desire to share the love of God wherever I go.
