If your kids have ever begged you to bring something, you know how this story ends… My girls were determined to bring a metal detector to the lake. I said ok on one condition. You have to carry it the whole way. My daughter agreed. It’s about half a mile to the lake. #beachadventures #kidadventure

You know dinosaurs and birds are related right? So why not have a chicken family adopt a dinosaur who hatched WAY after all of the dinosaurs are gone? 😊 Chick & T is such a fun book that has that exact premise. It’s funny, clever, and a super enjoyable read! What kid doesn’t like dinosaurs?

Happy Memorial Day!

Trust me I get why they don’t do it. It’s a lot harder. You have much longer stories with usually 0 to very little pictures to work with. But we’ve found a way to make them engaging and now your kids can enjoy them! So come check out our most recent addition The Friendship Adventure!

I know there are a lot of creative people here. If you’ve ever thought I’d love to have merchandise, but there’s no way I could do it in an affordable way, well I just found your solution! Go check this out: ninjatransfers.com?sca_ref=1126... Thank you to Ninja Transfers for partnering with me

I’m convinced now the mouse wasn’t a mouse at all…this author had someone in their life who had boundary issues 😆 Probably one of the most relatable children’s books ever written. Do you have a family member like this? #kidsbookswelove #nostalgicvibes #kidsbook

I got to partner with Kids And Car Safety to make this video ❤️ Let’s save our kids this Summer! Take off your shoe - it only takes a few seconds, and you’ll physically feel if your shoe is missing.

How did this become a cult classic? This is pretty much a life lesson on what not to do 😆 Have you ever read the original Curious George book? Also should I bring back the face paint? #curiousgeorge #explainthiskidsbookbadly #kidsbookshelf

It didn’t workout exactly how I envisioned it 😆 but you know, you’ve got to try your crazy ideas sometimes. Regardless, I’ll be posting it even if now I think it’s a bit crazy too! So make sure you follow along if you want to see this crazy 40 year old make a fool of herself. #midlifecrisismaybe

Every year I fill some Easter eggs with steak for my dog! He loves trying to find his eggs and cracks them open for his treat. And you could always use whatever your dog’s favorite treat is! #dogeaster #dogloves #dogmomlife

This little girl is always one to perform 😆. They had a good 5 minute performance as I got all of my groceries scanned and bagged. #littleperformer #mommycommunity #danceyourheartout

I originally wanted a son. I’ve always been a tomboy, and I thought I would have no idea what I would do if I had a daughter. But my goodness these two little girls just light up my whole world ❤️ I hope they stay best friends forever! What makes you run like this? 😆

Baby chimpanzees!!! They were so cute and the highlight of the field trip to the @dallaszoo. Check out this funny little axolotl. It sat there forever just smiling 🙂. Also have you ever seen an okapi? I hadn’t seen one before, so that was super neat to see!

This was one of her first times on a “big girl” swing. Now she can swing on an unbalanced old wooden swing with ease. It truly is amazing watching kids grow ❤️ When was the last time you went on a swing? #kidsswing #allmoms #heartisfull

She could have chosen any storybook character. But for her school book parade, my daughter picked herself. She’s one of the main characters from my books the Hannah Banana and Mary Berry series. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ #Halloween2025 #Halloweentime #Halloween

The sweetest board book! Watch the full review here! youtu.be/Vun9Ap7KOu4&...

We painted pumpkins in the morning, and by the afternoon she’s already belting out Jingle Bells 😆! Any other early Christmas people out there?

She’s literally standing right there and can see it 😆. But MORE importantly Hannah picked one of my books that I wrote and illustrated as her favorite book. 🥺 Cue heart melting ❤️ Pretty soon you’ll be able to watch a read aloud of it!

I hope she never loses this feeling. If there is music on, she’s going to be dancing! I’m the opposite 😆 I don’t think there is a song you could play that would get me to dance. But it sure is fun watching her! What song gets you dancing?
