  4. I am listening to this podcast as I take a writing break and fold some laundry, and I'm not ashamed to say I'm cross-legged on the floor singing "eat us all up." Totally going to sing this one with my kids when they get home from school. (They are huge Ame Dyckman fans.) I really want Emily to come over to hang out - at my local library or just my backyard! Thank you both for such an awesome podcast!
