Hello everyone, I'd like to share an interview with Barbara Ireland Mojica about her wonderful children's books, featuring Little Miss History.

 How long have you been writing stories and what inspired you to start?

 I have been writing the Little Miss HISTORY Travels to….

nonfiction series since 2012. There are now sixteen titles as well

as a trilogy book based on the New York City titles and a Little

Miss HISTORY Coloring Book.

In chronological order:

Little Miss HISTORY Travels to…MOUNT RUSHMORE

SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK

What inspired you to write?

As a history major, I authored academic papers for research, but I

did not start authoring stories until 2010. At that time, I began to

author brief stories focused on historical topics for a local news

magazine. I wanted to stay connected with children as I had been

involved with teaching and administration for more than forty

years. So, I decided to write history books for children. My

husband, who is an artist designed the cartoon character, Little

Miss HISTORY based on a younger version of myself.

Things you can do in January

 Hi Everyone,Happy New Year! Suppose you don't want to make a resolution you may not keep? What else can you do in January? 

• Decide it's a new beginning. Suppose 2025 wasn't a great year for you. Here are some suggestions that may help you to have a better 2026:
• Consider January a new beginning. Make a list of goals, even small things that you'd like to accomplish such as; finish household projects, declutter your house, donate outgrown clothes to charity.
• Even small steps can help you build confidence to tackle bigger things you'd like to do.
  
  
• I think this is a great way to build self esteem and meet your goals. I'd love to know your thoughts. Thank you for stopping by.

 Wouldn't it be fun to celebrate it? We love pancakes in this house. Why not?   You can dress them up so many ways: with strawberries and whipped cream, plain, with maple syrup, with blueberries.. My goodness, the possibilities are endless. I hope you get to try some today. 

For those in the Northeast, be careful and safe if you're in the storm's path.

 Please be careful and stay safe in case you live in the northeast in the path of the snowstorm that's on the way. If you can, plan for either a warm place to stay in case of a power outage.
