It's officially Christmas. Just heard THE Christmas chord. Thanks to the organist at Christ Church Cathedral in Cincinnati. 🎄👼🏽🕯️🎶⭐

Finished The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social yesterday. What a beautiful book and only my 2nd 5⭐ read this year. I now own a physical copy. 1) for a puzzle that needed solving and 2) because I wanted the art and to be able to re-read and tag some of my favorite lines. #Booksky #fantasy
Now 80% through The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social. I've cried 4 times already. Purposefully not telling us the names of 2 characters in chapters 18 and 19 is diabolical. And I knew that 2 characters were connected but didn't know how. So, glad to have that explained, I guess. 😒 #booksky
I'm 1/3 of the way through The Everlasting by @alixeharrow.bsky.social. As expected, I have cried once already.

Started The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow yesterday and I can already tell she plans to use her stunning prose to rip out my heart Shonda Rhimes style and leave me sobbing in a corner. Which is honestly the perfect way to finish out my reading year.

Good morning✌️🍀
Watched "The Prince of Egypt" with my 6yr old twins this morning.
Daughter: I wouldn't turn the river to blood. I would just punch that guy in the eye.
Me: the pharaoh?
Daughter: yup. And his eye would fall out and he'd let us go.
Me: um.....ok

Good Night World
Excited to be back with the #Cincinnati Fusion Ensemble this weekend. It looks to be a wonderful show! Please come out and join us #thecitythatsings #cincinnatioh#choralmusic #pipeorgan
Big sings the next 3 weekends - Easter (4/20) , Cincinnati Fusion Ensemble (4/27), and the final concert for the #wittenberguniversity choir on May 4th. So, time to call in the big guns. No time for sickness now!
Waking my son up this morning:
Me: 🎶 rise and shine and give God the glory, glory🎶
Son: 🎶 nnnooooooo 🎶
My husband is a fed worker, can confirm he is sending the email every week.
I wish I had just a running camera on my kids. My daughter literally just sang 🎶 what lies beyond ...you need to clean up your toys before Daddy's done with work so we can go see Gogo. 🎶 #moana2

How's Kinder-2nd grade lax practice going? My daughter picked flowers for me during the last drill 😂
Update - our leprechaun was thankfully very respectful and didn't leave a mess. He wasn't caught, but left some chocolate coins behind for my daughter.
I think our leprechaun is going to be respectful with a cute note and maybe some chocolate coins, lol.
NGL, I love creating whimsy. I think it comes from being a fantasy books reader.

Now we gotta watch for leprechauns too? Maybe he'll leave a cute note and some gold coins? Because we can't have a trapped leprechaun to deal with. That's too much for a Monday morning. 🙃 #stpatricksday #whimsy #classdprojecturnedparentproblem
My kids already have Marshmallow and Cocoa, their wrapping elves (happened a couple years back when my son's gift from Santa was very hard to wrap. And the tooth fairy has built Lego castles and made potions. #stpatricksday #whimsy #classdprojecturnedparentproblem
Y'all....I didn't know that my kid's teacher was sending home the leprechaun trap she made in class. #stpatricksday #whimsy #classdprojecturnedparentproblem
Wait for it…
As stock markets tank
As prices rise
As layoffs cut across every demographic
As we careen toward hell in a handbasket…
The oligarchs will pivot and say:
“Of course there was going to be a market correction. This was inevitable.”
Yeah. They forgot to mention that in advance. 🙄
Busy and possibly stressful week ahead. Listening to Michael Kramer's narration will be a nice reprieve from the busy days and evenings.
Me: Why do you think you had so much trouble sleeping last night? You woke me up at 2 and 3 and 5am.
7-year-old: Don't worry, Mom. I'm not even tired!
Me: It's not you I'm worried about...
Agreed. Some books we only read once or twice. Some have stayed in rotation for years. And the program has absolutely helped us foster a love of reading. We would have read every night anyway, but having new books every month made it more fun.
I may actually need this one for my 5 yr old son who constantly has no, no, no days 😂
And one additional note. Dolly's Imagination Library isn't available in all of Indianapolis today. I tried to register my nephew in Pike Township, and the program isn't available. Same for the zip codes I had while growing up in Indy.

Exactly. And I think I saw that the cost is about $30-35 per kid per year. So it's not crazy expensive either.
I hope Indiana lawmakers will reconsider cutting this funding. And even consider expanding the funding so many Indiana children can have the gift of reading brought to them in those formative first 5 years.

This program brought all kinds of books into our homes. Silly ones. Ones focused on learning the 5 senses or counting. Classics like 3 Little Pigs and Richard Scary. Books will help feed a growing child's mind and help them love reading.
