Today I decided to go to the library to get some work done AND I LOVE IT.

Alright y’all, I finally feel like my time is starting to open up as I have a manageable workload now. 😅 It was a busy last couple of months!! Hoping to be a bit more active on here now.

I’m here to report that after a whole night and day of cooking and being on my feet… everyone enjoyed the Thanksgiving meal I made!! I even got complements from my grandma. Shout out to the recipes I found on the internet! 😊

This is a good reminder because I have some picture books I admire that I never left a review for!
If you love a children's book, you can give it a review online!

Stop doing things for free. And more importantly stop feeling bad about refusing to work for free. Anybody have a nice way to say I don’t have an endless supply of free books to give out? 🤪

I’m cooking my family’s Thanksgiving meal for the first time ever and I literally have no idea what I’m doing. Never cooked a whole turkey before. But how hard can it be to follow a recipe, right? Right?! 😅

I’m determined to write a picture book this month! Might not be a good one but I’ve gotta strengthen these writing muscles. It’s been too long!

Wow, that’s beautiful!!
Beautiful first photos from the Euclid space telescope 🔭✨

This telescope is not directly orbiting Earth but situated at Lagrange point L2 orbit similar to James Webb. This means it can keep a constant eye on space without interruptions from day/night cycles.

Once October ends, I’m hoping to be more active on here. I’m finishing up two book projects at the moment so all my time is going to that! This is the home stretch!

I realized I never gave an update on how my son’s first soccer game went! (The team is made up of 3 and 4 year olds for context.) Let’s just say at one point when he was in the game, he ran off the field and out of the gate. My hubby had to go get him. He is learning, but it’s a process. 😂

Alright! So I plan on trying this out and getting my toddler to join in as well. I asked him what’s something he wants to do every day and he said paint! Sounds good to me! Mine will be geared toward learning Spanish and learning to play the piano/keyboard.

It is very entertaining watching a bunch of three and four year olds try to learn how to play soccer. First game tomorrow should be fun! 😂
