My kids have figured out that YouTube is a wealth of fun things. Now they play “good vibes” music during chore-time. And this little boy loves Scratch Garden.

Essentially this is my job in a nutshell. 
Happy Monday!

You’re so awesome, Dianne!! Thank you!!

Posted @withregram • @diannewrites What’s on my reading list? My friend, @kchowrites debut, MIRACLE! I can’t wait to dive in because this is a book about important things: family, cancer, loss, and ultimately… hope. Coming on March 28 from @christyottavianobooks @littlebrownyoungreaders

Thank you for reading, Cassie!!! ❤️🥰

Posted @withregram • @cassiemillerwrites What am I reading next? How about @kchowrites’ debut, Miracle? This trumpet (and piano) player cannot wait to start it! 

Growing up, I craved books with main characters who were musicians, but I don’t remember ever reading about them. I’m so thankful that today’s youth have that opportunity. ☺️ 

Miracle hits the shelves March 28th! Watch this space for my review soon. 🎶💛

Countdown 18 days until MIRACLE releases! So I’m posting another #readmiracle pic of my friend Steve Son, who played trumpet when he was a kid.  Thanks, Steve!!

Show me the instrument you played as a kid (or as a grownup) and tag me! Can’t wait to see your photos. ☺️

I don’t get to read as much as I’d like, but here is what is/has been/will be on the list. 🙂

Note: Lessons in Chemistry was a book club pick and it was fantastic! (great way to celebrate women in STEM)

Carney Springs Waterfall (via Shaka Cave trail). It rained on Wednesday and the water was flowing (and cold!). So pretty here. Top 5 hikes for sure.

Since i’m less than a month away from book launch day, let’s launch a new trend! If you have an #arc of MIRACLE, I want to see what instrument you played as a kid (or as a grownup)!! Take a photo of the book with you and your instrument! And tag me @kchowrites. 🎉

This is my beautiful sister @erin_chow. She played viola for several years because she loved its sound. ❤️🥰😘
