This pic just showed up in my FB memories, from 20 This pic just showed up in my FB memories, from 2013, with the text: “(My daughter) just texted me this pic from her bedroom, with the message: "Henna got in the way of my math, so I used her as a desk." Henna was our sweet kitty that we got as a tiny kitten with her sister in 1999, just after we were married & before we had kids. She lived to be 21yr a old! She is missed. ❤️ #catsofinstagram #homeschoolingwithcats #homeschoolingwithpets #mathwithcats #mathwithpets #homeschoollife #math #kitty #homeschooling #backintime

Just discovered these books last night at work. #b Just discovered these books last night at work. #booksellerlife  They are historical fictions I think? Cute short books on various  historical people/incidents. I am now going to have to dive in and see what else I can find in the series. I couldn’t find a series name yet. But the are published by the Smithsonian. If you know more about these, I’d love to know more!! I have dozens more #bookfinds like this that I need to find the time to share here! Every time I work (in the kids dept at my local Barnes & Noble) I find more amazing books!! #homeschoolbooks #kidsbooks #kidsbookstagram #kidshistoricalfiction  #ilovekidsbooks #lookwhatifound

This beautiful book arrived at our store yesterday This beautiful book arrived at our store yesterday. First time I had heard of it. Really beautiful young child version of #malalayousafzai ‘s story. The attack is not detailed, so even a young child could learn from her story without having to be introduced to the horrific  details before they are ready. Imaginative and inspirational story by  @malala with gorgeous illustrations by @kerascoet_  #inspiringchildrensbooks #bookstagram #learningwithpicturebooks #inspirationalbooks #inspirationalbooksforkids  #picturebooks #picturebooksofinstagram

I just discovered this book at work yesterday… # I just discovered this book at work yesterday… #bookscavenger by @jabertie & was immediately intrigued by the game! Sounds a lot like #letterboxing & #geogaching! So I checked out the #audiobook from my #library (LOVE the #libbyapp!) and am really enjoying the story! Which got me wondering if a game like this actually existed IRL. Apparently it does! Though it appears to be on hiatus? Anyone know what’s going on if/when it will return? It does look like there are some books to be found still near my area…but I am still investigating. For more info, check out https://bookscavenger.com

My current view. Resting on the couch with a #migr My current view. Resting on the couch with a #migraine, listening to the audiobook of #thehouseintheceruleansea on one of the first cool days this season. Windows open!

Panel 1 of my #temperaturebkanket complete FINALLY Panel 1 of my #temperaturebkanket complete FINALLY! The white stripes separate the months...so I am still very behind. This shows the temps through mid-March. Got a lot to catch up on still! I got way behind because I discovered (after I had already done over 2 months of work) I had messed up the edge, doing it wrong, and had to start over or it would have driven me nuts. Fixed now but got me way behind. It’s all good, I still have lots of year left to catch up! #temperatureblanket2021 #crochetersofinstagram #homeschoolinglife #hobbiesareimportant
