The most lovely day volunteering with Project:Camp! Project:Camp pops up fun, immersive, and safe day camps for kids impacted by disasters. While kids have a blast at camp, parents have the time and space to get back on their feet. Learn more and support at: https://projectcamp.co

Usually, Books and Cookies creates high energy musical literary experiences for babies and toddlers, but it was a blast to share a drum circle with the big kids at Project:Camp! We played lots of drumming games like call and response, freeze, drumming, and we jammed along with Queen, creed, the white stripes, and of course, a little Taylor Swift! What a great day πŸ₯πŸŽ‰πŸžοΈ

"Bringing in the New Year!"

We had a wonderful morning gathering in the sunshine at Ivy Station to celebrate the Lunar New Year! We read books about how families celebrate, danced the Dragon dance with scarves, slithered like snakes and banged on drums. We also decorated our own mini dragons and leaped on the parachute!

Wishing you a happy and healthy new year filled with good fortune!

"Be brave, my little dreamer.
We need you more than ever. The very best dream of all is the one we dream together. "
- I am Brave: a little book about Martin Luther King Jr. By Brad Meltzer

Hope. Peace. Love. Faith. Community. Equality. Bravery.

Today, I'm reminded to focus on the great lessons by this inspirational man, to continue to read, share, teach, inspire and work to make his dream for a better tomorrow a reality for our children today.

Though gathering in community during times like these is good for the heart, in an abundance of caution due to continued local fires and poor air quality, we will NOT be sharing Story Time at Ivy Station this Tuesday.

We will return next week. Till then holding, you all in my heart. Stay safe and please reach out if there's anything I can do to help those in need.

Thank you for all the check ins β€οΈβ€πŸ©Ή Such a heavy heart, but my family is all safe.

I'm heartbroken by the devastation to our beautiful community over the last few days. So many Story Time friends have lost their homes and others are still displaced by evacuations. The destruction is unfathomable and the fires keep burning.

Today is hard and tomorrow will be too, but I feel the hope, resilience, strength, gratitude and love as everyone comes together to support each other. So grateful for this community and of course for the firefighters working tirelessly. Praying for this devastation to end and holding all those who have lost so much in my heart ❀️
