THE LATEST NEWS

I’m Terri Sabol, a children’s book author, (former) teacher, traveler, military wife, and proud Mom of two cats.

I like to create books that entertain, educate, and inspire.

My Oscar and Emmy book series is purrfect for cat families. My other kids’ books are great for discussing topics like perseverance, being a gracious winner, jealousy, and appreciating what you have.

Spring has sprung! Are you Green With Envy?

Fresh Lemon Trick!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Befo Fresh Lemon Trick!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Before Houston's February rare arctic freeze, I had to pick all the lemons off my Meyer Lemon Tree. I gave away as much as I could, made a lot of lemonade, but I still had a lot of lemon juice I didn't want to go to waste. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I filled a clean egg carton with 2 Tablespoons of pure juice in each cup. Then I put the dozen frozen lemon juice blocks in a labled ziploc. I did this several times. Now throughout the year, whenever I need a little fresh lemon juice for cooking, drinking, etc, I can grab it out of the freezer. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Question of the Day: Pancakes of waffles? I'm not Question of the Day:
Pancakes of waffles?

I'm not actually much of a breakfast person, but I do love both of these. I would go with pancakes, though, since you can add blueberries or chocolate chips easily into the batter. Then Mrs. Butterworth's Syrup to dip each piece into (as opposed to pouring it on top and it getting soggy).  And a glass of milk on the side.
