Me to anyone who asks: “Yeah, I’ve never really been super into Pokemon; I just play to pass the time while my kids play.”

Also me: constantly hunting pokemon cards that are food/book related, building decks in my free time, and begging my kids to, ‘just battle me one more time!’ Every single day.

Local league Pokemon World Championships Celebration Tournament turned out to be pretty awesome! I finished top 8 and my oldest kiddo won the juniors division!

After taking my kids to regionals last month and playing some Build and Battle matches, I decided I wanted to start doing Pokémon League Tournaments myself! This weekend I got my first real wins since starting the week before! Super fun!

I always have a distinct feeling someone is watching me. Turns out I’m right and it’s usually a cat! 👀

Gender Queer was an absolutely incredible read for my March banned book selection! I’m so thankful for authors and creators, like Maia, who share their experiences. If you haven’t read this book, you should!

My banned book reading selection for February was The Marrow Thieves. From start to finish this book was absolutely breathtaking! The writing is incredible and the characters have so much depth. I loved this book so much— it’s definitely a new all time favorite!

Art class today was King Cheetah Watercolor Prints with Glitterbombers! Adding @soulsparklettesart.bsky.social to our homeschool lineup has been so incredible— it really makes Art Class so much more fun!

I’m intentionally adding (at least) one banned book a month to my usual reading. January started with The Bluest Eye by Toni Morrison a tragically stunning masterpiece.
