Revver Love

Sometimes, I need a reminder that being successful isn’t about bestseller lists or sales numbers or what critics think... 🏁

I’m forever grateful for my amazing agent and an incredible, nurturing editor — for allowing me to touch one 9-year-old and one grandfather.

And, thank you, sir, for taking the time to email me … and remind me that
I’m. Blessed.

SO BIG!

I ❤️ this so big! 🥰 Thank you to @curlsupwithagoodbook for all of this.

Sensory Play Ideas

AWESOME SENSORY BIN IDEA (and photos!) from @mommassori123 🙌🏻
Goodnight Goodnight 🌙 💤 Construction Site 🏗 Bulldozer’s Shapes 🔷🔺〰️

✨ Here is a simple digger sensory bin we love to use. I incorporating using one of our other favorite book📚series: Goodnight Goodnight 🌙 💤 Construction Site 🏗 Bulldozer’s Shapes 🔺🟩 🔵🔶〰, & added a shapes component in order to keep participating in #sensoryplayandbooks 🙌🏻

MATERIALS ➡️ @natgeo kinetic sand, any small “digger” and construction figures you have, & any kind of tangible shapes you have
✨you can put stale cereal🥣 in a blender for a taste safe kinetic sand alternative

PREP ➡️ Literally just throw all your items in a bin 😂🙌🏻

STEPS ➡️ Just let your kiddo explore with their hands and free play with the objects 😊 You can also ask them throughout play to “find the (diamond 🔷square 🟥 etc.)”or ask them to “make a squiggle/triangle/circle with your finger in the sand” to practice shape recognition 😊

DISCLAIMER 🗣 definitely put a drop cloth down for this one. Particularly if you have carpet like we do, you don’t want to be on your hands and knees picking kinetic sand out of the fibers 🙄 ALSO - the remainder of the materials are choking hazards, so be vigilant with under 3’s!

Great Sensory Ideas

I ❤️ this sensory activity idea! 🚂💨 Repost from @kindnesscastle … details below!

Freight Train Sensory Table. I used some train track tape from @sohandmadellc to turn our sensory table into a train table! I added some loose parts and the boys loved loading up the trains with freight. We read one of our favorite train books, Steam Train, Dream Train, by @sherririnker. The boys had a blast!

Train track tape: @sohandmadellc, use code KINDNESSCASTLE
Peg dolls: use code Kindness10
Construction loose parts: use code Kindness10

Restoration

I found this old oil painting, unframed and covered with dust, leaning against a wall in the back of an antique store — sandwiched between all sorts of other things.

Neglected.

On the back, a single stamp, “London” speaks to where she’s been, what she may have seen. Before.

It’s amazing what still exists, under the layers of decades, just waiting for someone to care enough, be curious enough, to discover what’s beneath the surface, to know there is more to know.

The things and the people I love most are like that.

A side of carburetor?

Coffee, with a side of carburetor. 🙄

Getting ready for the 2022 kart season, here. I will soon open the dishwasher to find it filled with sprockets, my laundry room covered with engine parts and racing gear all over the dining room table.

Wishing you all speed and success. Stay safe out there. #kart #karting #kartmom #206 #206heavy #206senior @racebriggs #briggsandstrattonracing #briggsandstratton #kartfamily #racing

Our Rainbow Days Review...

I’m so honored to share this Roto and Roy review from @ourrainbowdays
…chances are you already know and love the book series Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site by Sherri Duskey Rinker. They are long time favorites in our house! ⠀
⠀
@sherririnker has teamed up with illustrator @devas_t for a new action packed story- ROTO and ROY Helicopter Heroes! ⠀
⠀
It quickly became Lincoln and Lennon’s new favorite book. I love the heroism, rhyming text, and colorful illustrations. Lincoln loves when Roto the helicopter dumps water from the air to put out a giant fire. Lennon’s favorite part is when the dog gets rescued and gets to ride with Roy Thunder in Roto! ⠀
⠀
Please give @sherririnker and @devas_t a follow and check out ROTO and ROY on Amazon! It’s currently on sale so grab a copy for your kiddos, students, Easter baskets, birthday gift, etc! Don’t miss out because it’s AWESOMESAUCE! ⠀
