- Highlight of my day: Getting into a debate with my 2yo as he tried to convince me that a certain picture book is *definitely* on his bookshelf because "Dat my favorite book!" Friends, he was talking about one of my manuscripts 💕

- I once thought I'd written "the book of my heart", but now I know the difference between *that* and a book you *love* with your whole heart. This new pb keeps me up at night. I get butterflies, and my ❤ races when I think about it. I can't wait to see where this one goes💫
- My 3yo, looking in the mirror: "My hair is getting so long! Oh my." *whispers* "I am fabulous."

- In addition to writing picture books, I also LOVE coffee! One of my day jobs is a coffee roaster, and I love being a (small) part in the life of a coffee bean.☕ I can't demystify the publishing world for you, but if you have any questions about coffee, feel free to ask!
- I decided last month to push myself to write 3 picture books out of my comfort zone: 1 non-rhyming 1 fantasy 1 nonfiction I'm happy to say I finished the final goal, a nonfiction picture book text, this afternoon!🎉📚 #somuchfun #somuchtolearn #WritingCommunity
