Accio Chompsticks!

By -
Tomorrow marks the official start of our week long silly celebration. It's the second annual #Chompsticks!

Since my family was chomping at the bit to get started, we had our first photo shoot today. It was Harry Potter's birthday, so we pulled out all the stops for our geeky fun.


UntitledWe started by setting up our Potter goodness, complete with chocolate frogs and the Lego game.

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold! ABOUT THE BOOK (From the publisher) From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet.

And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives
