Sedgie the Hedgie wanted to dress up as a cactus for Halloween, but he’s in the wrong climate. He was like, “Oh my gourd! They’re everywhere!”

When I exit the phase of life of getting three kids ready for Halloween with costumes and such, maybe I’ll paint him blue with animal-friendly paint…for now, he’s a transplanted “cactus.”

The Wizards & Wands Festival at the Westerville Public Library was pure magic! And I got to meet up with my COSI friend and make a Wicked Witch for him to melt with liquid nitrogen during his science presentation!

“Melt the witch!” (In the name of science)
Thanks to COSI - Center of Science and Industry for using my balloon Wicked Witch for a liquid nitrogen demonstration at the Wizards & Wanda Festival at the westervillelibrary on Friday.

She came back to her real size! I love science!

One of the most common things I hear from grown-ups after I visit a school is that their kid is now begging for a hedgehog. For those parents who are even willing to entertain the empathy-building idea, let me recommend a kind and knowledgeable breeder in Ohio: Critter Connection. Gail knows her stuff and she educates potential owners to make sure it’s a good fit. So start by reading one of my books or any book about African Pygmy hedgehogs. And then reach out to Gail through her website or at Hedgehog 411. Hedgehogs teach so many lessons about staying calm, being curious and kind, and finding courage and responsibility. 🦔 The holidays are coming up…it could be the right time for a new addition to your fam! Ask any basic questions about hedgehogs below!

This memory was triggered the other day while reading the Guinness Book of Records with my son. In 2024, a dog walker in South Korea walked 38 dogs simultaneously! In 2022, I made around 30 balloon dogs for a photo opp at a Plexus event at the Columbus Convention Center. I’m sure my balloon dogs didn’t pull or p**p as much as those 38 adorable rescue pups!

“Erica, You made wonderful memories for everyone at Olivia’s birthday party. Why am I reminded of Mary Poppins? You both share a great talent! -David”

Whoa! That’s one of the coolest compliments that I’ll be striving to live up to for the foreseeable future. Thanks to Grandpa David for having me weave magic into his granddaughter’s birthday party. The other awesome thing about this guy is that he and his wife bought a hardcover book for each guest at the party. I can’t shake the visual of a sweet little 3-year-old sitting in the toddler bounce house engrossed in his copy of “Sedgie the Hedgie Finds the Treasure.” 🌂 💕 📚

The Columbus Metropolitan Library opened a new Marion Franklin branch on October 18th. I got to make this Balloon Scavenger Hunt for the special day. The children’s area is extremely interactive and intentional in design. 📚 🎈
