September 2, 2015 A Very Dog and Mouse Storytime Live at 7:30pm! (eastern)
Sometimes we’re Dog – knowing what we want and determined not to let anything get in the way of our goals. Perseverance all the way!
Sometimes we’re Mouse – always happy to help in any given situation. There is nothing that feels as good as giving of ourselves!
Sometimes? We’re both.
With the new school year beginning what goals do you have? Who can you help reach or find their goals.
What friends are out there just waiting to be found?
Join me tonight with my sweet friends Dog and Mouse!

Miamisburg, Ohio Rocked My Socks Off!!
Some of you may know that last year my husband was deployed with the Navy Reserve, somewhat unexpectedly. I had to cancel all my already scheduled school visits for the fall because I still had a teenage daughter at home – son was leaving for his first year of college.
It was hard to miss all my beloved children all over the country at my school visits, but what are you going to do? Life and family happens, right?
BUT! There was one week that had been planned a year in advance for May, 2015. A super, amazing, very MAGICAL librarian, Debbie Carmichael at Mound Elementary had contacted me after I had been at her school the year before in Miamisburg, Ohio. She wanted to have me come and speak at every single elementary school in their school district. She called it a “Michelle Nelson-Schmidt Extravaganza Week!!”
There was no WAY I was canceling that! That would be CRAZYCAKES, right?! Debbie got grant money and donor money to pay for the whole week. Sherry Hylton, another VERY MAGICAL person and consultant with my publisher, Usborne Books and More, helped arrange all the sales of my books and arranged my accommodations and the most beautiful B&B, The English Manor – seriously, go stay there! It is gorgeous, walking distance from the cutest downtown EVER and the owners are DELIGHTFUL.
After a year of not visiting schools, it was exactly what I needed. And the week could not have been more fantastical, magical and truly the only way to really describe it? Is that my soul was lit up with sunshine for an entire week. Just look and see:

A Whatif Monster Storytime Live at 7:30pm! (eastern)

Join me tonight live from my studio for Jonathan James and the Whatif Monster to remind ALL OF US to focus on those GOOD and WONDERFUL Whatifs in life. After all, the Whatif Monster totally has our back. We got this, y’all!

August 12, 2015 MAGICAL BOB Storytime Live! at 7:30pm (eastern standard time)
I don’t know about you, but summer is a magical time for me. It is my favorite season – I love, love, love the long sunshiney days and my lightening bug and start-filled nights. The end of summer is so hard for me – maybe it is for you and your kids too.
Join me tonight as we take a deep breath, say goodbye to our cherished summer days and hello to the new adventures that await us all this fall.
I can’t think of a more magical person to help us with that than our Bob and all his magical friends.
Cuddle in with me as I read Bob is a Unicorn – and who knows – maybe the night will be so magical even Beatrice and Cordelia might make an appearance!
As always, comment on this post to win some VERY magical gifts from me to you tonight!
