Me: “Look! the pond froze over.” My 8yo: “Where’s the shovel?” **He needed to go out and bust an air hole through the ice for our frogs.

My reading glasses broke which left me in a shopping conundrum. HEB to the rescue! You can buy reading glasses at the grocery store. I guess I only shop here now.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

We’ve been spending a lot of time climbing. Sometimes I’ll be belaying and think, “Why are we participating in a sport in which his life depends on my ability to tie knots.” But most of the time, I love the kids, I love the vibes, and I love the strength and confidence he’s gaining. #kidlitart

Update on our #blackvulturecam: They go into the treehouse daily and poke around, no eggs yet but I’m keeping watch. S. has named them Lucy and Gerald. I like it when the ploop in the hay. #blackvultures #eggwatch2025 #birdsky #birdcam

#kidlitartpostcard is an example of what I mean. It’s about building community, lowering the barriers to entry, inclusion, and equity. It’s about self-affirmation. Sharing a postcard might feel frivolous in the face of everything that’s going on, but it too is an act of resistance.

Good Morning! It’s #kidlitartpostcard day! I’ll be posting here and on IG. I’m excited to see all the beautiful work, use it as an excuse to make new and celebrate old #kidlit friends. 🤩 And yes! I am open for work. “Doing and making are acts of hope.” -Sister Corita Kent #kidlitart

When shit gets hard my reading shifts to almost completely #kidlit So I’m loading up Libby with all the good books. Also I was excited to find this at the library. I love Kyo Maclear’s picture books, so I’m more than happy she has a graphic novel. #booksky

The promise ai makes is that it could make products, write & illustrate books, create ad copy for junk, make you rich with zero effort. What it actually does is fill the world with more slop that the rest of us have to wade through to find something worthwhile and real.

I’m always sick at the beginning of January and this year is no different, so I’m trying to take it easy and slowly slide in the direction of my intentions. I did make homemade granola instead of buying some.

Current audiobook ✨ This year the kiddo has become an audiobook fanatic and I’m here for it. We listen on our drives and at night when my eyes get too tired to read our physical book any longer, which is currently The Terrible Two by Mac Barnett and Jory John. #kidlit #booksky

It’s raining here today, but we still got out into the woods and tried to see how many funguses we could spot. We made it to 20 species before we headed in for a warm shower.
