Ugh… today was not a great day.  It was one of those days when things seem to just go from not so great to not so greater… if that’s such a thing.  But tomorrow will come.  It will be better.  When days like this arrive I can only suggest taking a look at the little things in life.  Finding humor in the everyday – like this trashbag that refuses to be put down.  You go trashbag!  Be what YOU want to be!

Another cartoon from my Kid Inside series.  Sometimes I look back and they still make me laugh.  I think that’s a good thing, right?

 

I am super excited about an opportunity that has presented itself this week – something that I really can’t discuss at the moment – and mainly because there isn’t very much to talk about right now anyways, but just know it’s a very amazing opportuinty that I hope works out in the end.  Also, heading into a very busy Decemeber week I was already rushing between shows today (Sunday) where I started out in Rockland and then to Newton.  I have to come to really enjoy commutes between shows – seeing all of the different towns and being able to travel all over Massacusetts.  Still hate traffic though… I don’t think I will ever get used sitting in traffic.  My schedule is as follows below:

• Sunday – Christmas Party at the VFW in Rockland
• Sunday – Christmas Party in Newton
• Tuesday – Christmas Tales at LPC
• Wednesday – Lil’ Munchkins Preschool
• Friday – Triumph Head Start

This week there are no public shows but no worries – I have plenty of things on the horizon for everyone looking to see me!  Also, if you’re curious on how to get me to come to your neck of the woods – the best thing to do is suggest to your local library or your child’s school and tell them that they should invite me to come tell my tales there!  Nothing speaks louder than words!  Let them know you’d like to have me visit your town!

Places I will be visiting this week:

1. Rockland
2. Newton
3. New Bedford
4. Scituate
5. Taunton

This past October I spent 4 weeks in Cohasset at the Paul Pratt Library where the librarian, Sharon Moody, accepted my request to showcase her pick of the book of the month! This wordless picture book is absolutely perfect for the costal town children who know what a day at the beach means! Chasing – and being chased – by the wanes in the ocean. It’s a game I play even to this day! It’s so perfect! In fact, for all of those not close to the ocean, for those who have never had the pleasure to visit a beach, this book perectly encapsulates the best part of beach. Check it out today!

Thanks for the great book suggestion Sharon!

Trying to go through and clean up the pics from the summer I founf this great shot of my daughter and son waiting for me to start my show at the Plymouth Public Library.  Antone is crawling now – but my daughter still grabs him and hold him just like this.  Shw loves her little brother so much.  He, well he takes the love in strides.  He’ll appreciate it later, I’m sure.

I have a nice, slow week this week.  While I love working and telling my tales sometimes I enjoy a slow week to get other things done.  I am working on getting the new 2015 brochures out and getting my final Christmas shopping done.  So, this is a welcome break.  I still have a few shows though – so check out the schedule below:

• Thursday: Provincetown Elementary School
• Friday: Week 4 (Final) of Building Stories at the John Curtis Library in Hanover (Open to the Public)
• Saturday: Carver Elementary School Winter Wonderland – shows at 10:30 and 12:00

As always, the Preschool Building Stories Workshops are open to the public and all are welcome to join whether you have come to earlier session or not! Please check the Upcoming Shows page for more information on all of these shows.
