“One in five children in our country is food insecure. And that reflects not a poverty of resources but a poverty of moral courage and imagination.” @warnock.senate.gov

An awesome kid went home with a signed copy.

This illustration of Edward Lear’s “There was an Old Man of Dunluce” limerick hangs in my story lab to inspire me to excellence and silliness in storytelling! The best part is my dad painted it ❤️

I've been a writer for almost two decades, first in women's lifestyle magazines and then in marketing.
I expected that experience to count for more when it came to writing a novel, and when it didn't, I got frustrated.

Happy #DropEverythingAndReadDay! Nobody wrote kid emotions like #BeverlyCleary. I still go back to the Ramona books regularly to learn and for cozy nostalgia. I never got to meet her, but I was grateful to find this signed copy on EBay for my collection.

Do we still #flashbackfriday? Because I just picked these up at the thrift store. My sister and I regularly rented the BBC Chronicles of Narnia on VHS at Blockbuster!

I picked up this book @nlbmuseumkc.bsky.social, and it’s gorgeous. The words, the illustrations, all of it.  #booksky #kidlit #baseball

This Refugee Sewing Society bag is the perfect size! It’s just right for my e-reader and all of the other everyday essentials. I also love supporting our new neighbors as they become self sufficient. #welcomerefugees #booksky #bookish #bookworm #bookaccessories refugeesewingsociety.com

Many of our friends in Clarkston are #ELL, so I mostly put #picturebooks in the Jolly ES @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social, but I have to sneak the occasional #middlegrade in there…especially when it’s @kwamembalia.bsky.social books!

I started reading JUST ANOTHER MISSING PERSON by @gillianmauthor.bsky.social. The 1st scene was in Nando’s, so I had to pause and relocate to the appropriate setting. Thanks to #TSNTYAW for introducing me to Gillian, and thanks to Nando’s for opening a driving-distance location last month! #booksky

WORDS + ART

This was the original story lab! I folded the French doors around the corner, tossed pillows on the floor, and wrote. It has come a long way from the days my parents were deep in the throws of renovation, the wood all chipped paint, and the walls primed drywall. It’s beautiful now, but I don’t fit.

“She had often drunk a quiet bottle of ginger-beer in there: the old bottles made it look more like a smuggler’s cave.” —THE MAGICIAN’S NEPHEW
Doing a little spring cleaning, and I found the ginger beer bottle from my trip to the Eagle & Child Pub where C.S. Lewis often met with his writing group.

You know what’s better than finding the $5 bill you forgot in your jacket pocket? Finding the Just Add Honey tea you forgot about while spring cleaning ❤️🫖

I was making a list of little things that bring me joy, and one of them was the straw dispensers with a lever. So my husband bought one and filled it with pencils for the story lab. He’s the best.

My kid has reached an age where most things aren’t cool anymore. I had to drag him to this library event, but he immediately became deeply invested in @chrisgrabenstein’s first Mr. Lemoncello book. Books are magic…even for adolescents ❤️📚
