Charlie napping on the couch waiting to hear about Shalini’s book recommendations

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects. View more posts

Thanks! He was groomed last Thursday and this picture was Friday morning. He looked at me as if he was saying, “I’m so fancy!”

Awwww. We just discovered that our pup has been sleeping on the couch while we’ve been gone. She’s a huge shedder. And although she gets a weekly bath, I’m not thrilled that she’s sharing her special scent with the upholstery. Trying to decide how to deal with this since we don’t want to cover the couch with a blanket…..

Charlie is welcome on the couch and recliners but not the beds and he seems to understand that. When Riley (who’s gone now) made the couch his happy place, I covered it in sheets and washed them once a week.

I might end up having to do that. Was trying to avoid more “cleaning,” LOL….

It wasn’t that much work and trust me, I’m not much of a housekeeper.
