Just submitted to #50PreciousWords. It just came out of nowhere. I feel like a part of my brain is slowly blinking awake. Thank you, @viviankirkfield, for the nudge. #kidlit
Introducing my next guest in the #GrowYourWriting Creator series: @LisaLJRogers Enter Lisa's giveaway to win a Non-rhyming picture book critique (less than 700 words.) Winner announced 3/4! 🎶Comment on the blog post: tinyurl.com/GYWLisaRogers 🎶Retweet 🎶Tag a friend!
Disast-o-Rama! That's what Theo's Christmas was, and seeing the awesome holiday photos on his friends' social media doesn't help his mood. But when he learns the truth about those perfect pics, Theo realizes he was actually the one who had the #BESTCHRISTMASEVER. #PBPitch #kidlit
RIVVY RYAN HATES CHANGE. She really does. A tuna sandwich instead of her usual lunch fare, a substitute teacher, even a simple furniture move can ruin her day. Why can't everything stay the same? And what happens when Rivvy's wish comes true? #PBPitch
Theo's Christmas was a disaster! Definitely not like the awesome times he sees on his friends' social media posts. But when he finds out the truth about those pics, Theo realizes his imperfect holiday was magical in its own way. Find out why in "#BESTCHRISTMASEVER." #PBPitch.
All this.
My daughter gave a knockout performance at her final senior show tonight (original 1-act plays), and my son couldn't stop praising her. Can I just end the week now so I can bathe in the moment for a few days?
I was just thinking this today!
The ideal man: He loves his country, but hates half the people in it. He goes to church on Sunday, then dines at Hooters to look at sexy women with lust in his heart. He manspreads on trains, weds a woman he can dominate, and gives guns to his kids as gifts. What a catch!

Nicely put.

I helped orchestrate my school's Easter egg hunt. The eggs we got had toys in them, including these guys. I'm no expert on the holiday, but aren't these a little off-message?
#PBPitch THE LITTLE TEACHER: A class of grownups gathers to learn "important stuff" from an unexpected educator: Little Teacher, a 5-year-old who knows what's *really* important in life. The class comes away realizing: "You can learn a lot from a Little!"
Got a son's birthday coming up and a daughter who may get a college acceptance today. Plus bills, of course.

Hi, @JewWhoHasItAll - can you enlighten me on this Target display? I know it's traditional for stores to sell Easter candy to Christians during Tevet, but are we now doing the same by promoting Pesach four months early?
