Refreshed our restaurant go-pack for an upcoming vacation. For a hot second McDonalds gave out tiny books in happy meals. We’d probably eat there more than once a year if they kept doing that.

Monday desk. I never regret tidying up over the weekend. #studiocat

Haven’t had time to take proper pics yet, but I finished my Daughter Judy Coe Trousers this weekend and I am in luv. #memade #daughterjudycoe #coetrousers

I got a new camera (OM System TG-7) and this is exactly why.

Look how cute he is!!!

We’re on our third snow day in a row. I’d ask for suggestions on how to keep my kindergartener occupied, but I assure you, we’ve already done it.

“Revolutionary Mary” available 2/18 by @mackidsbooks.bsky.social written by Karen Blumenthal and Jen McCarthy, illustrated by me! It tells the story of the only woman to have her name on the Declaration of Independence, Mary Katherine Goddard! #kidlitlaunches #kidlit #picturebookbiography #kidlitart

Just imagine the thrill of listening to a room of children absolutely lose their shit when you draw your most beloved character! What a fab afternoon at @rabbitholekc.bsky.social

Just finished the Toys series with my 6 y/o and we both feel so happy, warm, fuzzy and calm (although a little sad there’s not another one). Truly bedtime read aloud perfection!

A love like no other.

While this is more parental involvement than I typically support, I couldn’t get the kid to muster much energy for the valentines themselves (aside from choosing a bouncy ball as a toy) so I (and my #silhouettecameo) took the wheel.

Swim, ✅. Groceries, ✅ Fresh library books, ✅. Bring on the snow I guess.

And you said the news was depressing. www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles...

I’ve had my heart broken before, but my 6 y/o is wholly uninterested in making a Valentine’s Day mailbox and I’m not sure I’ll ever really recover.

I fancied up my Hourly Comics for my Substack. #hourlycomicsday2025 open.substack.com/pub/elizabet...

The world is garbage and everything’s on fire, BUT at the elementary school art fair tonight, a little girl from my son’s kindergarten class came up to me on all fours, barking, pretending to be our dog. So there’s that.

Another Superbowl. Another opportunity for the most embarrassing aspect of my city to be on the national stage.

And round 4 of hourly comics day 2025! That’s a wrap!

Read the news. Thus got momentarily derailed from posting my hourlies. Here’s round 3!

Hourly Comics Day round 2! I’m tired! #hourlycomicsday2025

Hourly Comics Day 2025! Let’s do it! This year I’m going to embrace the messy and spontaneous. One day. One comic an hour. The good the bad and the ugly. #hourlycomicsday2025

My dog and my cat are best buds in a way that is, quite frankly, obscene. #frankandpete

Discovered my 6 y/o up at 2 am last night reading Dog Man (was awoken by his call to fetch him water). #kidmilestone

Extremely niche alert! The only thing I’ve made (that I can share) in the past 5 mos. are these flash cards for my son and his #suzukimethod viola class. Handing out at the party they earned for holding their violas for all the twinkles! (It’s very cute)

I woke up this morning feeling a bit overwhelmed at the week ahead. But as I cleaned out my 6 y/o’s backpack and readied him for the day, I thought to myself, yeah, I’m also glad I don’t have 100 scabs.

In the past year, we acquired both a real life tuxedo cat and a Lego tuxedo cat and it’s been nonstop fun.

If anyone’s curious what book the kindergarteners are all taking turns checking out from the school library it’s this. I think it imparts a great message for how to survive during these fraught times.

Some fun news! I am not actually losing my mind, #Photoshop really is changing where the “flatten image” button is depending on what (what type of?) layer I’m on!

Just scored Dav Pilkey tickets at the Rabbit Hole and it was the most stressful thing I’ve done all year.

Last Amazon acquisition of the year (or maybe ever?). I had returned a gift and had a credit. Giving up Amazon is easy…and fun!
