That essay is always such a great read. 🧡

I read to my kiddos for years. Now the oldest one (two years post-college and lives/works across the county) and I still discuss books we're reading (fiction & non-fiction) and trade recommendations. It's delightful!

Congratulations 🎉

I'm allergic to beets/beetroot so anything with "natural" pink or red coloring is out for me. I've heard their strawberry lemonade is tasty, but not worth the hives and itchiness.

I wrote this a few years ago for #DyslexiaAwarenessMonth (October), but still get messages about it. I talk about growing up with dyslexia, being a perfectionist, and being a word nerd. Not the easiest combo of character traits. teenlibrariantoolbox.com/2019/10/07/c...
