Are you looking for a screen-free way to keep the kids entertained AND get their creative juices flowing over winter break? #ad

Lately, our family has been loving the @audible x @crayola collection. My kids are enjoying listening to stories like Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Margarita in the Spotlight while coloring and creating their own fun scenes from the stories.

These screen-free activities allow my kids to listen to stories, and get super creative together. It’s the perfect way to spark their imaginations and spend quality time together.

Oh, and did I mention Audible is offering a 2-month free trial?

Head to the link in my bio to start your family’s listening adventure today! #audible #crayola #AmazonInfluencer

A couple of days ago, my husband and I went on a date night experience the magic of MJ the Musical at the Bushnell Theater @thebushnell in Hartford, CT.

This incredible show takes you on an unforgettable journey through Michael Jackson’s legendary life, from the Jackson Five days to his rise as the King of Pop.

But trust me, it’s those final 10-15 minutes that’ll leave you absolutely buzzing. It feels like you’re at a mini concert, dancing and singing along to MJ’s greatest hits like Thriller, Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’ and more. Don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness the man behind the music. Grab your tickets before they’re gone. This show is only in town for a limited time now through December 15th.

Have you seen MJ the Musical yet?

Thank you, @ryanmarketing and @thebushnell for the opportunity.

The Bookthreads community represented well last night in L.A. at the Threads of the Year event. The event space was intentionally decorated in black and white and all the attendees brought the pops of COLOR! 🌈

There were content creators from all different categories like books, skincare, travel, sports, food, and more.

Thank you @threads and @meta for the invite and congratulations on the success of Threads!

Still floating after the magical night that was the 75th annual National Book Awards @nationalbookfoundation.

Hosted by the hilarious Kate McKinnon and graced with music by the incomparable Jon Batiste @jonbatiste, it felt like stepping into every book lover’s dream.

Being in a room with 800+ book lovers surrounded by some of the most inspiring voices in literature? Unreal. I’m beyond grateful to the National Book Foundation for inviting me to witness this celebration of storytelling. Truly an honor I’ll carry with me forever.

A huge congratulations to all the winners and nominees. You remind us of the power of words to change the world. The five National Book Award categories are Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, Translated Literature, and Young People’s Literature.

Cheers to more books, more stories, and more nights like this one.
