You know what's better than being a famous author? Being faithful. Faithfully feeding people... food, words, knowledge... washing plates, sweeping floors, teaching souls. It's the best kind of glorious.

There's nothing quite as lovely as this... sitting around the living room on the first Sunday of Advent, sipping tea and listening to A Christmas Carol with my kiddos. Lights shining, story carrying, kiddos smiling. It's idyllic. #AChristmasCarol

CHERRY ON TOP It's Ruby's first day working at her family's 🍦 shop and she has the most important job - 🍒 topper! Just as she goes to top her pickiest customer's sundae, she realizes - she’s run out of cherries! Ruby must scramble to find the perfect finishing touch. #pbpitch

What are the best funny English words? Maybe they sound silly, or maybe they are old and have fallen out of use. I'm teaching 3rd grade next year, and I think it would be fun to have a "funny word of the week" to add life and joy to our classroom. #writingcommunity #teaching

What!?! There’s a day JUST for fairytales!?! YES!!!!
I almost let #TellAFairyTaleDay slip by without acknowledgement! But really, you can tell a fair tale any day of the year. You could start with one of these! #FedericoandtheWolf #HenselandGretelNinjaChicks
