My Books as Pajamas

My books as PAJAMAS. 🎈🌙 I think these sets make perfect gifts... What child couldn’t use new pajamas... and A BOOK?! ❤️(To locate a retailer near you, I think that Google is your best bet: “book title + pajamas.” I’ve seen them at Dillard’s, Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Pottery Barn Kids, and even at Walmart and on Amazon.) • Hap

Adorable!

Each night, supermom @ashlanktaylor says, “Pick two books you want to read before bed...” 📚❤️ How much do I love this?! SOOOO MUCH!!! 😂😁 PS: Ashley has just ordered Mighty, Mighty, Construction Site and Three Cheers for Kid McGear. Hopefully, she and Quinn can mix things up a bit! (Ashley, please let us know! 😊 )

Where are all the knives?

14yo: Where are all the knives?
Me: I need to wash them.
14yo: Why?
Me: Long story.
14yo: (Gives me the one-eyebrow raise.)
Me: I spilled my soup into the drawer.
14yo: That’s not a long story. That’s a short story about you being a dork.
Me: —- . . . 🤷🏻‍♀️ The kid has a point.

Great Books

Sooo... when I’m on the road (and in-and-out of A LOT of bookstores), I will often purchase a book. And, when I’m on the road A LOT, that, apparently, adds up to A LOT of books.
Thankfully, once I read them, I have a very busy Little Free Library that can use them. But, ohmiword, I think I need an intervention. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Now that I’m home, I’m realizing how they’ve multiplied! 😳

Way to Go

For parents of high schoolers (and high schoolers themselves) struggling through AP classes: my first-semester college freshman is technically a junior. Hold strong: it’s worth it! 👊🏻

Sweet but really???

Husband was cleaning the garage, and the dog was busy sniffing in the corner. Husband saw a chipmunk run out of the garage and turned to find the dog like this. 🤦🏻‍♀️ We love her, but she might not be the sharpest knife in the block. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Train Lovers!

In case you have a little train-lover in your life... 🚂 Through the darkness, clickety-clack, coming closer, down the track... Hold your breath, so you can hear: huffing-chuffing, drawing near...! • PS: There are matching pajamas, too!

From the Road

Some photos from the road... ❤️ Great schools, great teachers, great LRC Directors, great staff (and tech!) great kids, great booksellers. It was, all, well... GREAT! 😃

Great Chronicle books

SO many wonderful things in the GGCS family, including someone NEW TO THE CREW: Kid McGear! 🏗 (Oh, and we also have pajamas, and lacing cards, and a growth chart, and glow-in-the-dark books, and...! ) 🥰 Check out my website to learn more (It’s easy to remember!): SherriRinker.com

Well Done!

Finished #13 in a REALLY heavy-duty field of 40+ top drivers from the US and Canada. He’s 14, running senior heavy with the grownups, and we are celebrating here!!! 🏁 🎉 This sport is soooo tough and there are SO many disappointments. Yesterday and the qualifying race today were rough on him, but he kept his wits. The sport terrifies me (!), but it teaches them so many positive things about persistence, hard work, focus, accepting disappointment, sportsmanship, teamwork — and, of course, all the mechanical aspects. 🙌🏻It's nice when he can home happy, bc that’s not always the case.
