Today when I was entering the library, a small child in rubber boots pointed straight at me, grinned, and said with utter conviction and delight:

“THAT’S A CAT!”

So now I am a cat.

It’s POURING rain and I’m watching a pair of blackbirds run around the yard positively FEASTING on worms.

I seriously don’t know how they’re eating SO MANY!

They’re like the guy at the buffet who’s DETERMINED to get his money’s worth! 😂!

Yesterday, I was ready to kick this manuscript STRAIGHT INTO THE SUN!

😫💥☀️🔥🔥🔥!

I was SO GRUMPY.
Really, REALLY GRUMPY!

But today, everything’s clicking into place! 🎉!

It’s ALWAYS like this. But…

I ALWAYS FORGET it’s ALWAYS like this! 😅😂😂😂!

You, too? #kidlit

Slowly and carefully, Alfred slid the black hair tie off Jenny’s wrist.

When nothing happened, Jenny was like, 'See? It’s not a big deal. Long hair is just a pain in the ass.'

Guinea pigs playing tug of war with a blade of grass.. 😅

I took lots of string cheeses and tied them together.

Now I have ROPE cheese.

Literary agent friends! If you are open to picture book author-only submissions, let me know! I’ve been seeing a lot of amazing projects cross my desk lately and would love to offer referrals for some of those top tier submissions. 🫶🏻

My son discovered this disturbing 'doll in the wall' while renovating the basement in his house today. 😱
I'm sure it's fine. 😱
I'm sure it won't come to life at night. 😱

OOH! The jumbo marshmallow crop is almost ready!

If The Kid was still little, I’d 100% prank her for a minute and make her think she broke the ☀️.

She’s in college now.

I wonder if it would still work.

This is kiwi water but at first glance I thought it was pickle water.

I’m a little disappointed. 😝😂!

He looked hungry so I ordered him a pizza.

You’re welcome, l’il buddy.

Today we visited one of the best Burger Kings in the world.

What makes it one of the best Burger Kings in the world?

At some Burger Kings, you hafta ASK for a 👑.

Not this one.

This Burger King had 👑s stacked on EVERY available surface!

IT IS SO FANCY! 🤩!

The #ECLIPSE is when the sun gets to the movie theater REALLY early so they can pick out their favorite seat… and then the moon strolls in late and sits RIGHT in front of them.

☀️: “WTF?!”

I love sharing my friends' books with my kids. Ame Dyckman✨, Boy + Bot delights my daughter as much as it did her older brother!

New restaurant in town

There’s a refrigerator
On the curb
At the end of our street
With a sign
That says:

“WORKS FINE!”

And I love that they didn’t
Over-sell it
With a sign
That says:

“WORKS AWESOME!”
