Giving yourself permission

Adventures of a chicken nugget, rebellious characters, and a new shape challenge

Welcome to the kid table!

If you have a minute, I would love to know if you like where this feast is going; you can reply to this email with 1) what you want more of and 2) what you want less of.

Anyway, you must be hungry, so let’s dive in, shall we?

Wanna trade? Share something you love!

All the best,

Rachel
