Today, while painting with my daughter who was home from school with the flu, “Do you ever look at a moment and just know a core memory is being made?”🥰

As visions of spring dance in their heads.
Actually, I love winter and am sad to see it go, but so it goes, so it goes. 🌻

Happy Thanksgiving Day!
I hope that you are surrounded by those who make you feel loved. If you can’t be with your loved ones, I hope it brings you peace.
I am thankful for this wonderful kidlit community that continually inspires and believes in me.

Dear Friends,
My daughter’s violin was stolen from our home by a cleaning service and I know that it is a long shot, but I am desperately seeking it.

Yesterday we got the call and today we helped transport two beagles from St. Louis to Greenup, Illinois with The Beagle Freedom Project, from their lives of abuse to their furever homes.
Godspeed, Jeremiah and Ben. We hope the rest of your days are filled with happiness, safety, and love.

I don’t know who said it, but I remember an author saying that her novel “still smelled like chlorine” to her because she wrote it during her child’s swim lessons.
I think about this quote often.
I wonder what will my first book will smell like?

We moved a year ago and my library card had lapsed. I renewed it this week and the joy this brings me is hard to explain.

It’s #NationalFeralCat day, so here’s a picture of our formerly feral feline, Zeus. Who now lives in the lap of luxury and tells us daily how grateful he is that we converted him from his wild ways with kisses and snuggles.

I have a weak spot for my local grocery store’s bargain book bin… so much so, I sometimes mistakenly buy the same books twice. 🤫
