Yes, I am a teddy bear mom! I had a picnic for my furry family last week. I don't have favorites (don't want to hurt the feelings of my other stuffies), but if I did , it would have to be Daisy and Belle - a momma bear and baby bear set. More pics!

DAISY🤒DR OOPS New  📸  on ko-fi! I forgot to say Juan's full name is Juan Julian! His friends in Progreso call him Juan, but in Cherán they called him Julian, so that's what I did here, but forgot to explain. Smoke, why didn't you catch this before I posted it? Smoke: < because you said I had a big head! > 😼 Such a lovely cat 😽 Juan's parents are Anna and Jorge. Anna i...

Smoke 😺 Signal: A Daisy Drop Special I was in the kitchen reading this article to Linda when Smoke jumped in my lap and made it known in no uncertain terms that she wanted to narrate this as a podcast episode. Smoke has been itching to get back in the show ever since Cher made her a co-host last December (either that or it's fleas 🙀). We worked on her voice for hours until she was satisfied...

...CONTINUED FROM LAST EPISODE Cherie said the key to the lost room is where I would be sure to "step on it". At her birthday party, in the same parlor I was sitting in while reading Mr. Davies letter, I made the mistake of confessing I had left the LEGO piece on the floor that she stepped on weeks before. Mr. Davies had bought a LEGO set of the X-Men Mansion because he thought it looked...

WELCOME TO DAISY DROPS! Written, recorded (on a zoom call with Mom), and edited by Daisy - that's me! Yes, there may be a little room for improvement - I'm getting a better mic and practicing vocally vexatious tongue twisters every day. The next episode in February should have a nice glow-up. Tune-in and see! Ps. Here is the 'boring' material I left out of the show (that's...

Hello. We hope you are enjoying the contest. We received a correct answer that did not include an email address, so we have no way to contact that person. Folium Fan Mail is only one-way – we can't text you back. That's probably a good thing, as Quel was ready to disqualify them with a message that can politely be described as, 'lacerating'.
