On a roadtrip, we passed a community of houses that all looked the same. My daughter said “It could be in A Wrinkle in Time.” Proud Momma moment! #summerreading

I know I’m late to the party here, but does anyone else get upset at the prince’s treatment of library books in the Wicked film? I mean, does he have to stomp on them???

Going back and watching some writing classes from the past. I'm hoping that it positions me well for the new year. I am always inspired by these brilliant author teachers. #kidlit

The Nutcracker never disappoints but this year’s Clara and Prince were truly special. I took my daughter once years ago and she declared it a tradition. So…

It's been difficult to write lately. We had a pipe burst in our kitchen. Back after 2 mos in a temporary home, I'm grateful for the updates. And also, empty cabinets and boxes clutter my mind. Hoping this iced coffee helps. And yes, it’s a Star Wars glass.☕✨✍️📚 #kidlit #morningcoffee #timetowrite
