Construction Site on Christmas Night

I signed THOUSANDS of copies of “Construction Site on Christmas Night,” and they’re available at B&N stores nationwide. You can also find our book at your favorite independent bookstores, Target and Walmart! Happy shopping!!! 📚❤️🎄

Love Him

I am slightly Insta-obsessed with this dog. I follow him on @adventuresofpaddingtonpup — because, seriously, how can that face not brighten your day?

OK

I’m Ok

Yum

My sister’s homemade pecan pie, which, I’ve been warned, I’m not allowed to touch until after dinner tomorrow. WHATever. 🙄

Happy Thanksgiving

Ok, PERHAPS, I get A TAD carried away at school visits... 🤦🏻‍♀️ Thank you to Rossman School for putting up with my shenanigans — and for the nice reception for “Construction Site on Christmas Night”... And Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! ❤️❤️❤️

Bacon Bacon

Dog. Bacon. So close, and yet, so far. 

So Sweet

Our family has grown in the last year... in the sweetest way.

My Goof Ball

The genius. The reader. The thinker. My analytical child. ❤️ I love that there’s also this side to him. #thegoofball 😂

Great School Visits!

A few random shots from the road AND a tip for endearing yourself to the juice-box crowd: If you can possibly work the words “poop” and “butt” into your presentation, you have totally won them over. 

Thank You Hunter!

“Sherri Dusky Rinker inspired me to Read also inspired me to write a book Good Job Sherri Dusky Rinker” (Hunter, Grade 2) • Why, thank you, Hunter! • And thank you to Hinckley-Big Rock elementary for hosting me. ❤️📚

Thankful for Teachers!

We are a family that supports art, artists and the arts. I was lucky enough to have a high school art teacher that instilled the importance and the value of art — in life and society. Thank you, Paula Palmer. ❤️

Nascar Fan

Welcome to our house... where even the dog is a NASCAR fan.

Breathtaking

Despite the fact that The Original Art exhibition opening was really, REALLY (REALLY!) crowded, I was lucky enough to spot a few friends. I wish the photos could do the work justice... every piece was Just. Breathtaking. ❤️

Sunny but cold

Brrr!!! What’s the temp where you are? (I guess I should be grateful for the sunshine, at least.)

First Snowfall?

Returned from NY to the first — and early — snowfall.
