Ooooh. That's so exciting! Sending you lots of luck! 🍀

It was more when he found him 'dead' in the woods. But yes, the agents and machines, too.

PENGUINS DON'T WEAR PANTS by @abicushman.com is so funny. Kids will be rolling at all of the outrageous bits Abi has so cleverly worked into the text and illustrations, including all of her delightful penguin illustrations. I loved this one!

Monday #kidlit check-in: I'm still focused on final book art, but I also need to put together my newsletter, and hopefully save a crumb of time for my neglected sketchbook. How about you?

An excellent point - I have a similar experience. I LOVED E.T. but there are a few trauma moments there too.

I picked up a card last minute for a wedding at the grocery store and did a massive double-take at check-out. $10! Unreal. Another good option is to support artist-made cards.

This seems more likely than prices returning to some normal level.

Yeah, I think I'm being forced to balance out after working every weekend last month. Not a bad thing! I'm sorry about the lock-out! Hope you have a good day!

Even when my kids started school it was much more affordable. It’s probably doubled in 10yrs.

I just dropped $100 for the smallest print package for 2 high schoolers in NH. So yeah, it’s $$.

You have to ride that inspiration/motivation wave when you can! Sounds like an excellent week!

Loved and needed the night out. Health is improving but dealing with doctor’s offices is a slog! Nice work with the writing and safe biking.

Friday #kidlit recap: I lost a lot of work time this week to ongoing health stuff, and recovery from a very fun but exhausting concert night. Might have a working Sunday ahead of me. And you?

I was there with my daughter too - couldn't agree more!

It really feels like the best chance at making change. Because as you stated, nothing has changed with the criminal side of things. If young men can learn to speak up and call out bad behavior, things would be so much safer for women.

Crap. I'm so sorry you unfairly lost your job. Wishing you a good experience with the new place. Nothing feels better than zipping through Boston off-hours, you've got this.

Already thinking about this for my daughter. But also working on conversations with my older son (HS senior) about speaking up and out with his male friends.

I scrolled earlier and it looked like it was pulling in other posts, not just our postcard ones.

It’s the best thing on that list, too!

So glad I screencapped when I did!

For all the exhaustion of it, you really learn to live more presently. Also, I kept peanut M&Ms hidden in the pantry and called them mother's helpers.
