Oooo!
#kidlt, this is definitely worth reading.
So many wonderful books!
The only downside is that we can't get our hands on them until fall! 😉

I just peeked into Enneagram insights. It's interesting. I found myself to be 4/5 and am still investigating what that 'means'. :)

Watch your fingers with your emotionally-induced CHOPPING!! 😉 (I am not someone who finds cooking therapeutic but so glad others do. My daughter, for instance, loves to cook! I am so glad she did not inherit my aversion!)

I still have the dictionary I was given as a prize in a spelling bee (that I definitely did not win) from third grade. (Nearly 50 years ago!) I love words!

Something fun for 2025/26, and I’m going to head to Maine in summer 2025 to work on it, which means I’m open to possible USA collabs, workshops and events next summer while over there from the UK ✨✨✨

Do you know the Tom Chapin song, 'Cousins'? (children's song) Also the pb, The Relatives Came (Rylant/Gammell)? These sorts of gatherings always remind of these two things. :)
