3 fats; 3 pastries. Same recipe, but only the fat changed: European-style butter, American-style butter, and shortening. 🧈 Can you guess which is which? ⭕️🎃🍁

Kids aren’t just heading back to school—they’re stepping into a world that’s asking more of them than ever before. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻🌍👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿

From navigating social pressures and academic expectations to processing an endless stream of information online, today’s students are confronting challenges that can test their confidence, curiosity, and ability to think for themselves. 😣

Parents and educators recognize these growing demands, yet many are asking the same question: Beyond grades and test scores, how do we prepare children to think critically, embrace challenges, and thrive amid constant change? 🤔

And so, as the first school bells ring, one veteran educator is challenging families to consider an essential truth: Helping children change the way they see the world may be just as important as teaching them how to succeed in it. ✨🔔✨

@DrJulieMcDonnell sits down with @LaceyOnInstagram on @KGWNews' @HelloRoseCity to share how parents can nurture wonder in an age of distraction, practical tools to support kids in reframing setbacks and moving forward with confidence during the new school year, and how her award-winning Bailey & Buttons Series (The Flowers in Grandma's Garden and My Rose-Colored Glasses | published by @MiriamLaundryPublishing) is turning story time into meaningful conversations about kindness, courage, and emotional growth for children nationwide. ✍🏼📚📺

Stay connected to @PRFromTheHeart, as the official event recap of Building A Culture Of Reading In Your Classroom 2026—the landmark children's literacy event featuring Dr. Julie, along with David Newell (the beloved Mr. McFeely on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood), Tony Buttino Sr. (the Emmy Award-Winning Co-Creator of @ReadingRainbow), @MrWolfComics, 12-Year-Old @AmelieAnastasia, Dr. @ECSherman2024, and @JuliaKolouchBooks, emanating from @BN_Clackamas—will be premiering this weekend! 📲📖💻

If you're a children's author looking for dedicated PR support to share your inspiring story and new book with the media—and reach more parents, families, and educators leading into and throughout the holiday season—contact us (via our bio link above) to learn how @PRFromTheHeart can support you. 💜 taken in KGW-TV by @hellorosecity

Back-to-School season is filled with fresh beginnings—but it also brings forgotten lunches, last-minute surprises, changing routines, and countless moments that test a child’s ability to think on their feet. 🎒🤯🏫

While parents spend time preparing backpacks, school supplies, and first-day outfits, one question often goes overlooked: How do we help children build the confidence to navigate the unexpected when their carefully laid plans suddenly fall apart? 🤔

And so, as the countdown to the new school year begins, one award-winning educator is helping families unlock their children’s greatest superpower: the ability to see possibilities where others see problems. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻💡👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿

@JuliaKolouchBooks joins @LaceyEvansOnInstagram on @KGWNews' @HelloRoseCity to share why creative thinking is one of the most valuable abilities kids can develop, her new award-winning children’s book, The Adventures of Mrs. Crockess and Ivy: No Pockets? No Problem! (published by @MiriamLaundryPublishing) and a sneak preview of @PRFromTheHeart's Building A Culture Of Reading In Your Classroom 2026—presented in partnership with @SMARTReadingOR—the landmark children’s literacy event coming to @BN_Clackamas this Saturday. 🐾📖📺

To our friends & neighbors in Portland: You can meet Julia and an extraordinary lineup of voices helping shape the future of children’s literacy—including David Newell (the beloved Mr. McFeely on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood), Tony Buttino Sr. (Emmy Award-Winning Co-Creator of @ReadingRainbow), @MrWolfComics, 12-Year-Old @AmelieAnastasiaWriting, Dr. @JulieMcDonnellAuthor, and @ECSherman2024. 🌟

A limited number of seats remain. Secure your spot now (via our bio link above) for this landmark children's literacy event! ⏳

Emerging Leaders Board members Marissa and Max, along with Blanchet
House staff member Franny, joined to talk about the show and its
impact on our community.

While the opening reception has passed, artwork will be available throughout August! From prints to our new additions of puzzles 🧩 and cards 💌, there’s something for everyone.

This morning, we had the privilege of booking our client, @jocelynr.rice, Founder and Lead Designer of @blackearthunited, on KGW’s @hellorosecity to share the story behind tomorrow’s Field Theory Launch Party. ✨

As marketers, we believe one thing wholeheartedly:
Putting your head down and “just doing the work” is no longer enough. 👩🏽‍💻

If your story isn’t being told, future generations lose evidence of what’s possible. 🙂‍↔️

Media is about documentation. It’s about visibility. It’s about creating a record that says, “Someone who looked like me built this, created this, and dreamt this into existence.”

Tomorrow, Black Earth United celebrates the launch of Field Theory at @jm_joints, featuring music by DJ @skambeezy and a powerful round table discussion with industry experts.

Our message is simple, keep building, keep creating but don’t forget to tell the story. 📺🗞️📻📡 taken in Portland, Oregon by @hellorosecity

Last week I went on the news to talk about my experience working as a manager at @nwportlandhostel.

Hostels have been such an important part of my personal growth - I’ve probably stayed at 100 at this point across 6 continents (well, 7 if you want to count the dorm style room I stayed in Antarctica 🇦🇶!)

Hostels made travel financially possible for me, but more importantly, they’ve helped me build friendships and connections all over the world ✈️ 🌎

Thanks @hellorosecity for having us on the show!
