Rolling for Reading



Members of the International Society of Skateboarding Moms typically grin as they spin--having fun, of course, is a top priority. But the club also tries to give back with our Rolling for Reading program, which puts new and gently-used children's books into the hands of kids in need. We distribute the books on skateboards, of course!

I currently have a very large stack of books in my living room that will be donated to the Orangewood Children's Home after the May 14th Mighty Mama Skate-O-Rama. Normally, we try to roll out books to kids every other month. If you have some new or very gently used children's books you'd like to donate, or you're a skateboarder with a little time on your hands and goodwill in your heart, please contact me.

Leopard the Cat



This is my cat, Leopard. She keeps an eye on things. She growls like a dog, but is as fierce as her namesake! She specializes in sneak attacks, but at night, she curls up like a furry bowling ball and keeps our bed nice and warm.
