Winning With The Stonewall Attack

The Stonewall attack is a opening which is characterized with White's first 3 moves which are:

1.d4 2.e3 3.Bd3

The attack points the light squared Bishop at Black's kingside right away, so when Black defends poorly, White may get a chance to sacrifice the light squared Bishop on h7, and then deliver checkmate with the Queen and a helper, as in this game: https://www.chess.com/game/live/5499611314

I thought that I had played correctly after 13.Bxh7 , but it seems like I had missed something better on move 14. Try to find the move which is way better than 14.Qh5+.

If Black plays a move which doesn't move the Queen on the first move, White simply captures the Queen, and will get an easy win.
