Simple oven baked apple chips with cinnamon and no sugar! Crispy baked apple chips are a healthy snack, and much better than store bought.

It's another "Unplugged Weekend"! How about a fun historical scavenger hunt on Lyme Street, courtesy of the Old Lyme Historical Society? Print out the clues and take with you. See how many you can find! Answers will be posted Sunday night. Kudos to the OLHSI Events Committee and Edie Twining for creating this fun activity.

Finally get to share the cover of my first children’s book!! I wrote “Change Sings” as a children’s anthem to remind young readers that they have the power to shape the world. The poem is illustrated by the incredible , the artist behind Barack Obama’s children’s book Of Thee I Sing: A Letter to my Daughters, and I could not be more humbled by the beauty he brought to my words. It will be released by this September.
👉🏿📚Pre-order it at the link in bio to be the first to own it!🔗🔗

P.S.
I felt strongly that the book should come out in 2021, when children would be facing the results of the 2020 election and whatever those would be, I wanted them to know they were the leaders of the future. I had no idea that around the same time I myself would be named the youngest inaugural poet at that time! So I am too learning and living the lesson of “Change Sings” ☺️

We've been so reliant on technology through the pandemic. Take the kids for a hike on one of Old Lyme's many trails or wander the beach looking for some tresures. How about a fun family craft?? I'll post one tonight for you and the kids to do!! Enjoy the weekend!
