How many hours do you think Candy Smoked Salmon can sit on the counter with fans Asking for no one in particular that may have stayed up finishing all night making candy smoked salmon for people AND don’t even like Salmon and no one thought to put it away while that person slept. #LBC #candysalmon

The time is 12:50 pm. Salmon came out at 4:30am. Dyscalculia is making the math difficult in this head to calculate the time on the counter under the fans

This is the way we pack the salmon, pack the salmon, pack the salmon she sand passive aggressively in her head with a smile.

PDA - Persistent Drive for Autonomy very common among the AuDHD-ers like me. Anyone out there have success managing teen burnout in secondary/highschool? It was a struggle for me, 2 of my brothers and definitely for one of my kids so far. #LBConversations #PDA #school #schoolsout

When your kid decides it’s time to smoke the candied salmon they caught at 11:45pm…… It’s not them out here at 1:36am waiting for the next 30 minute timer to go off to brush the Maple Syrup on. Child and dragon are fast asleep on the couch. 1.5 hours to go. #LBC

🎶BOAT snack🎶 🐓 Best surprise when you get to the “Garbage” car. “The tail of Bertie and Ernie” #amwriting #littlebirdchronicles #lbc2026 #illustration #art

A wonderful surprise of road snacks. MINI EGGS. Ernie’s Kryptonite.

Author’s Note and Context:
Little Bird Chronicles
BOAT Manor
Bertie and Ernie

Ernie has been sick and hasn’t used Garbage Truck for a couple of weeks now for errands but Bertie and the fledglings have been.

Ernie takes note of the state of the vehicle, a disaster. Notices all the take out cups have written Bertie on them and she chuckles to herself a little. In her head she sees Seasame street Bert and Ernie arguing and Bert wagging his finger at Ernie going “You know Ernie, you shouldn’t get so upset you really do these things to all the time - YOU DO IT TOO!!!” Ernie knowingly knows they do it but has reasons for doing it being they are disabled and progressively getting more disabled but after a lot of therapy and a lot of break downs just smiles and 🤷‍♀️ shrugs and pans to camera smiles and says meh 😑 but thinks “I just asked them to clean the vehicle because I need help - my bad”

**Bertie has lovingly called his and his partner Ernie Family vehicle RAM truck. Ernie never wanted but reluctantly got for camping and hauling an RV BIRD TENT the family no longer has**Ernie still drives it around and her eldest does not want her to get rid of it. Her youngest would love her mom to get her own car back** *Ernie hasn’t had their own choices in vehicles 🚗 since they gave up their favourite 1998 Golf VW golf which they sold to to pay to go to nursing school**

Illustrations by Nicole Anne. Sketchbooks on a writing desk. Piggies, mountain lions, crows and a Mermaid and lady bug Too?!

I once saw an other much more famous & published author write they have the ability to make any song and any portion of any song relate to their own particular experience. This is definitely my case. And helpful for context when I choose sound bites. Don’t read between lines #lifesoundtracks #LBC

In the theme of this “This one time at band camp…” But really it’s just another random story about LittleBird’s life. One time when LittleBird (LB) was between 6 to 7 years old, she had the same nightmare every nap, every night, any time she drifted off to sleep. #LBC #LittleBird

The night’s awake so LB is awake and wants to come out to play. The start of what I can only imagine the odd couple thought was the beginning of a beautiful life together. Look at the happy bride & groom (cough…prom couple) #LittleBirdChronicles #mooseandcappy #specfiction #autofiction #amwriting

LittleBirds Parents in the Dream World one that she desperately wanted to wake up to.

Two 80’s teens North Vancouver go to Prom and hold up an Irish terrier with a bow tie.

Days were filled with all kinds of adventures. Nana did not always approve of the locations that her children would take her first and only grandchild at the time and what she hoped for a long time.

LB is haunted by Moose. They show up everywhere. Alt past versions, popping up, reminding her of where they’ve been & where she’s going. To all the Bruce’s I’ve loved before. Different styles different stories #BruceAMoose #LittleBirdChronicles #illustration #wip #speculativefiction #autofiction
