Thanks to Fox Valley Sandblasting & Chris Buescher

We’re getting ready for the 2019 206 racing season! The kart chassis has gorgeous new powder coat, thanks to our new sponsor, @foxvalleysandblasting . 😍 Zak’s still driving #chrisbuescher old number: 60. Our family will be ever grateful to and supportive of Chris for all the kindness he’s shown Zak. 🏁

My 13 year old!

Lately, most of the pics of my 13 yo look something like this. (He says he’s smiling.)

Funny

Insider Trading Tip

A little insider-trading tip from me to you: invest in companies that sell coconut husk planter inserts. 🌱 

Gorgeous

Oh my word... can you even IMAGINE? Gorgeous. 🌳 🌲

Racing Helmets

Good morning! Three helmets and a neck brace on my dining room table. 🙄 And: why three helmets, anyway?... the kid only has one head. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Spring has Sprung

Almost 7pm: STILL LIGHT! ☀️ 🙌🏻

Easter Basket Fun!

Ohmigosh: Do these books scream “Easter Basket!” or what?! 🐰 🥕 If you’re looking for a smart, funny, STEM-y gift with some long-eared girl-power, HERE YOU GO! 🐰🥕

Great Display!

Such a Fan!

When I’ve been doing school visits all day...and one of those kids at one of those schools MAKES his mom bring him to my nighttime store event so he can get more books.

Yummy!

Both stand mixers working: French Silk Pie. 🍫

A Piglet Named Mercy

Ohmigosh! L👀K what I just preordered! I can’t wait! — because, apparently, I’m six years old — but, SERIOUSLY, how can you NOT want to see Mercy as a piglet?! 🐷 Coming soon to my Little Free Library — AFTER I READ IT! ❤️ Debuts April 2! Woot!

Beautiful Flowers

I follow this incredible woman on Insta because of her abiding love of flowers (and INCREDIBLE flower arrangements), her joyful outlook on life, the posts of her beautiful home city of Amsterdam and her gorgeous cakes with SUGAR FLOWERS. Again: THESE ARE SUGAR FLOWERS. 😯🤭 😍

Dr. Seus Day

Bleh. Dark, chilly, windy and rainy morning. Not ideal get-up-and-go weather. 🌧 (More like get-up-and-go-back-to-bed weather.)

Spring Cleaning!

Oh, sure — to you, it just looks like a big pile of yard waste. But, to me, it looks like SPRING!!!!! 🤗 ☀️ 🌸 Woohoo!!!

Two Latest Reads

My two latest reads. Beautiful, moving books. ❤️ 📚 

Celebrate You!

Loudly and proudly, let’s celebrate YOU! 🎈 From the first wobbly baby steps to the time when they’re ready to leave the nest, this charming new picture book celebrates all the small but important milestones on the way to growing up.

Thanks to VAAEYC 2019!

Hotel Roanoke — gorgeous, old historic hotel. I’m not sure if you can see the monogrammed hedges (!) and the mountains in the background, but... such a beautiful place. I’m delighted to be giving a keynote speech here today to Virginia’s early childhood educators.

Happy Birthday George!

This is George, my friend Maria’s dog. Seeing George’s face always makes me happy — so I thought I’d share the love. ❤️
