Sweet but really???

Husband was cleaning the garage, and the dog was busy sniffing in the corner. Husband saw a chipmunk run out of the garage and turned to find the dog like this. 🤦🏻‍♀️ We love her, but she might not be the sharpest knife in the block. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Train Lovers!

In case you have a little train-lover in your life... 🚂 Through the darkness, clickety-clack, coming closer, down the track... Hold your breath, so you can hear: huffing-chuffing, drawing near...! • PS: There are matching pajamas, too!

Great Chronicle books

SO many wonderful things in the GGCS family, including someone NEW TO THE CREW: Kid McGear! 🏗 (Oh, and we also have pajamas, and lacing cards, and a growth chart, and glow-in-the-dark books, and...! ) 🥰 Check out my website to learn more (It’s easy to remember!): SherriRinker.com

Well Done!

Finished #13 in a REALLY heavy-duty field of 40+ top drivers from the US and Canada. He’s 14, running senior heavy with the grownups, and we are celebrating here!!! 🏁 🎉 This sport is soooo tough and there are SO many disappointments. Yesterday and the qualifying race today were rough on him, but he kept his wits. The sport terrifies me (!), but it teaches them so many positive things about persistence, hard work, focus, accepting disappointment, sportsmanship, teamwork — and, of course, all the mechanical aspects. 🙌🏻It's nice when he can home happy, bc that’s not always the case.

Boo!

Flight lands after midnight. Heading out to a day of school visits on 4 hours sleep, but super-psyched to promote NYT BESTSELLER, Kid McGear! PS: It’s very humid in Cincy
