I had a fabulous weekend with my amazing agent, @jenniekendrick.bsky.social. We celebrated Jennie's birthday with all sorts of fun adventures. Our activities included touring Chihuly Glass & Garden, visiting Seattle's rat mosaic, & posing with the World's Largest Rubber Chicken. It was awesome!

Matilda laid her first egg! It's the green one. Matilda is the yellow chick in the chicken baby photo. She's the 1st of our young hens to start laying.
I feel like I need to write an after-school special for the 3 hens who aren't laying yet called Beatrice Has an Egg.

I love the Bibsy Cross chapter book series by @lizgardensalad.bsky.social & illustrated by Dung Ho. Each story is sweet, funny, & full of heart. To me, the series feels like a modern classic.
The final book, Bibsy Cross and the Time Capsule, will be available July 8th! I'm pre-ordering my copy!

This is a blooper that totally cracks me up. Simon is sitting to earn a bit of string cheese for modeling, and Alina is losing her mind because she, like me, gets very excited about treats.🤣
