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! With my buddy Alfie (Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All) keeping watch. Yes we are a #whovian family. It’s a lovely day, despite the head pain. #cooldays are finally here!!

Either the clay microwaveable one seen behind it here, or the battery operated one in another of my insta pics. All.Day.Long. Lather, rinse, repeat. Constant awful pain. Unending.

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
