I swear I’m really fun to hang out with I can even provide (incredibly specific and niché) references. #audhd

I have about 23,800 more notes to review but these are what I saw first 😂

looking back I probably could have said something (literally ANYTHING) about the way it tastes but it was so good I sort of forgot to talk. 😂 #phillycheesesteak

I cannot detect your sarcasm but I Can guess the bpm of a song…so…I don’t know.

this is me realizing in real time that I am so out of my depths and forgot that at some point the world was actually going to read the book I spent 2 years writing and illustrating. 😂 of all the rooms I could have read an excerpt to from my book for the very first time, a room full of 250 librarians was THE room to do it in. (pre-order That’s a Great Question, I’d Love to Tell You!) 📚

the buttons of this shirt were sewn on with the thinnest thread and they remain attached to the fabric by hopes, dreams, and vibes. ⚡️#fitcheck

pouring one out for all the people that were still in full glam and hadn’t gone to bed yet. so anyways…see you later today, ALA conference! 😂📚 #americanlibraryassociation

and still! (a poem by me) — for anyone that had to ever been made to feel embarrassed by how deeply they love. You love just the right amount, and you are just the right amount. 🤍✨

#fancywednesday August 20th, I want you to get together with your friends (yes, on a Wednesday night) and wear an outfit you love but haven’t had an occasion to wear it to. This is a dress and a ring I bought because I lovedddddd them but haven’t had anywhere to wear them. SO! For my 32nd birthday this year I’m creating a fancy-ish dinner with a few of my favorite people so I can wear this dress in Vegas. 😂🙌🏼 I think we should all do this collectively. Agreed? Agreed. See ya in your cool outfits on August 20th. I’m honestly so excited about this, I hope you actually do it with me! (I couldn’t resist flipping the camera off to show my snake ring because it just felt so right while wearing it on my middle finger.)

I am equal parts scared and VERY intrigued

This year has been full of work trips and as I make my way back to Omaha, all I want to do is hug all three of my boys and kiss their sweet lil' faces. I'm grateful to have so much to miss when I travel for work, but l'm in a season where I need to hoard as much quality time as possible now-my mind, body, and soul need to miss my favorite people a little less. I've done my fair share of canceling and rescheduling and reworking my schedule over the next four weeks to allow me to not only stay home, but to BE home-physically and mentally present so l can play I Spy on the front porch while eating rapidly-melting popsicles, and enjoy Friday night pizza nights, and read Goodnight Goodnight Construction Sight before bedtime, and get woken up before the sun comes up because we're a safe place for the boys when they're scared of the thunder, and hear August say "OUR QUEEEEEN" when I walk through the door just because he's heard @jonas_myers say that so many times he now says it too. I'm going to store up all the hugs and kisses and cuddles my heart desires and then even more after that. Cheers to a month of rest!!

what a wonderful surprise on a random friday in july ☀️

weird but alright…

When I wrote the gratitudes in the back of my book, I didn’t consider how hard it would be to read them out loud. 😅🥹
