This week is going swimmingly and I am super excited for today’s shows. I also was recently talking with a friend and was discussing our daughters. His just turned 13 and he said it was like it happened in a blink. “Just like that” he said “and she’s 13. She’s a little woman.” We talked about freezing time to keep them little and after a second he says “You know what though? It’s all been good. Even the rough times – they were still good.”

This cartoon was done when my daughter was still too little to know how to put on make-up – but it was like a self fulfilling prophecy because she loves to dress up and get all gussied up now. She says it’s because she looks so pretty. I tell her she’s pretty without any make-up at all.

Another April vacation is upon us and I will be all over the map! Please check out the schedule below and come and visit me! I’m excited to be visiting the libraries for the first time – such as the Ipswitch, Wayland and Newbury Libraries! Also, I’m excited to be returning to the East Bridgewater and Mashpee Libraries! I will try to keep everyone updated throughout the week – and I’m working on updating this site so I can easily post pictures from the road and from my shows!

I am happy to report that I made it through another wonderful Bridgewater week – and I will be back next year! I have to say, the biggest compliments I received were from the 3rd graders who all asked if I would be telling stories to them the following year in 4th grade. Sadly, I had to tell them, I have yet to visit the middle school to tell my tales – but I said I’d be open to it. It just makes me feel good to know that even the older kids enjoy my stories too.

I love this show… and apparently so does Amy

There is one week I look forward to the most because I get to return to a school I have visited for over 12 years. I visit the children of the George Mitchell Elementary School for an entire week! It’s even more exciting for me because, for just one week, I feel like I’m part of a community of the most friendly and welcoming teachers. They smile and get as excited as the children they teach that I am back and nothing makes me feel better then an entire school happy to have me return! So get ready Mitchell – I will be there first thing in the morning!

I cannot believe how things change over the years like this…

I have not only been featured recently for the Raising a Reader groups in Plympton but also the Talking Comics with Big Ryan at the Plymouth Library! Both of them continue this weekend – so mark your calendars and make sure to visit!

Snow? How is this possible – I could have sworn we had a few 70 degree days out there at points! I know people say it’s New England and all – but this is just odd! Most of my plants had already started blooming! Hopefully the snow will not hang around long but we will have to see! This week I have a slight break from the crazy schedule but I am excited to be returning to the Mary K Goode School where I just finished up the Building Stories for the 4th graders.
