It’s alive!!! Muahahaha!

Zombiesaurs is live on Amazon! 🦖🦕This is the first book that my boys and I have illustrated. 💚 Couldn’t have done it without my husband’s tech help. ❤️ Our folks and friends (aka our beta readers) are all very much appreciated for putting up with us.

We made some changes to the cover and we added a section in the back about the different types of Zombiesaurs in the book. Luckily, my kids are really into dinosaurs, so we know stuff. 🙂

If you’re new to the blog, Zombiesaurs is a rhyming Children’s book that my sons and I have been working on for months in between homeschooling, extracurriculars, decluttering, etc. I guess it would be classified as Children’s Horror. But I don’t think it’s too scary. And my boys’ illustrations are fun and sometimes humorous, so that helps lighten things up.

Zombiesaurs can also be found in my book of children’s poems, Halloween Night and Other Poems, which was released on Amazon last month.

My kids worked hard on this and were great when things came up, like changes needing to be made and illustrations redid.

I think I mentioned before that I got the idea from J.K. Rowling’s The Ickabog. Kid-illustrated books are great. And (I don’t want to brag, but) I especially love the illustrations my kids have done.

Please help us spread the word. We hope you will enjoy our book! And if you do, please consider reviewing it on Amazon and GoodReads. Thanks, dear reader!

I have lots to do today, so til next time. Keep looking up.

God bless,

Rabbit, Rabbit

Have you rabbited today? Many people say some variation of “rabbit, rabbit” upon waking on the first day of the month to ensure good luck for the rest of the month. For instance, some people say “rabbits”, “white rabbits,” or “rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.” It should be the very first thing you say when you wake up.

My kids and I say “rabbit, rabbit” on the last night of the month before bed, then “hare, hare” immediately after waking on the first. I stumbled upon this tradition when I was a child; being a lover of superstition as I was, it stuck.

It isn’t precisely clear when this tradition originated. I’ve read it could be as far back as the 13th century. I don’t know when it began exactly, but it seems to have stuck around. In the 1900s in England, a periodical was written about it. It’s mentioned in a Trixie Beldon book. I also read about it in a Southern Superstitions book. Nickelodeon promoted the holiday in the ‘90s.

Sarah Jessica Parker and President Roosevelt are fellow rabbiters. (I cannot say for certain that President Roosevelt was, as I didn’t know him. But I read it in an article once.)

My kids love it. I couldn’t tell you if it has indeed been any luckier than the months when we forget, but it is a fun tradition. And we seldom forget it.

Do you rabbit, rabbit?
