Thanks so much!

Thanks! That video was a HUGE learning curve for me. 😂

Thank you!!

I'm so excited to finally share the cover of my upcoming book, A Forest Begins Anew! This writing journey to publication has been a long time coming, and seeing real proof like this is surreal. Feel free to share. Wahoo! #KidLitAuthor #WritingCommunity #STEM @esckeyes.bsky.social

I reclaimed a foot of space on my desk by finally finishing my #library polymer clay owl project. #ArtsAndCrafts #Relaxation

Right back at ya!

I want readers of my book to feel hope. Hope can lead to action.

When my turn on Earth is over, I hope I’ll finish in a place of peace and beauty like this little bumblebee did in my broccoli. 🐝 #NatureLovers #Pollinators #AutumnVibes

Yet another reason to love my #library system: Free #ArtsAndCraft sessions. Here’s my polymer clay plate cover. #TrySomethingNew

Thanks!

My first business cards! It’s just now starting to feel real after so many years of trying to get traditionally published. ✍️ #WritingForChildren #KidLit #AuthorLife

I’d love an update!

A year ago I got sick of wishing I could paint. Now I’ve filled one book and used almost that whole kindergarten watercolor paint set. Am I good? Not even mediocre. That’s not the point. What are you sick of WISHING… that you could instead just START? 🎨 ⏰ #IsThisArt #MentalHealthMatters #JustDoIt

What’s that? You’ve always wondered what 12 celery plants would reduce to when dehydrated? Allow me. You’re welcome. #OrganicGardening #Gardening #FoodPreservation

Today’s the first time I took both new(ish) dogs for a walk at the same time, and they did great!

I’m not the mom who hosts football parties. I don’t bake cookies for the team or organize fundraisers. I barely understand the game. But at the bare minimum, I’m the mom who shows up. Even when it’s 38 degrees and raining. #football #MomLife #AutumnVibes

🎃 + 📚 = ♥️ The MN Zoo featured picture-book-themed #art! Be still my heart! #Halloween #KidLit #WritingCommunity

Aww, thanks! But I’ll go for relaxation over pretty any day. 😂

Stressed? Try some paint and/or doodles, WITHOUT A CARE how it actually turns out. Just let the process quiet your 🧠. #MentalHealthMatters #Art #WhatIsArt

Exercised another part of my 🧠 making #jewelry at a free #library program. #MentalHealthMatters

It’s now a slightly less terrifying day to be a wooly bear caterpillar. I relocated all these little buddies from the school recess patio to the woods. #KindnessMatters #Bugs #AutumnVibes

I got mugged last night! I went to bed with my mouth guard in, but this is where I found it in the morning. 🐾 #PetLife #DogLover

Am I getting predictable on a Friday night? 😂 #Library and high school #football again. 📚 🏈

What’s the best way to get involved with them? I just sent a friend request using your address above.

Agreed! I loved this one so much, I bought my own copy!

That looks fun and interactive!

These are some of my favorites! What amazing creators. #KidLit #PictureBooks #SCBWI 📚 💜

If dahlias could love a subject, I bet they’d choose math. They look very mathematically planned.

At least it’s a lovely color to have all around. 😊
