Thanks for featuring me and my writing, Kathryn. I'm glad to know that my work is meaningful to you. I've been on the road for the past few days and finally got to read all of the recs. I love the mudmaker idea. It's brilliant. And I had no idea that Emilia Hart had a new book out -- I loved her first book, Weyward. Excited to add The Sirens to my summer reading list!

Yes, I enjoyed it. We read both her books in my book club.

I don’t know I was looking for a “mud maker” until you told me! My daughter likes to water the plants on the deck and I get annoyed constantly filling up the watering can. Now she can do it herself!

It really checks a lot of boxes for us-less water management needed by the adults, containment, etc.

Thanks for sharing my Summer of Boredom essay, Kathryn! I think we are like-minded about summer parenting, I've loved reading your thoughts on this. The mud maker is brilliant!
