As a kid, I loved recording our home answering machine message. One was a yodel. Another sounded like the real me having a conversation with the caller. Some thought it was funny. Some got mad. This website isn’t the real me either, just a recording of sorts. I still like making people laugh. And hopefully not mad. Allergen alert: I live in a facility that works with nuts. Homeschooling our four boys provides hours of laughs (and some crying) along with inspiration for sketches, book ideas, and drawings. I hope you like my work. I guarantee up to 100% satisfaction. https://carissashillito.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-03-07 https://carissashillito.com/books daily 0.75 2023-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/f5fd2b84-150a-4839-a97b-1407d70111c1/Innis+Cover.png https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/84ce6a18-43e5-4b6b-847d-3134334315fb/BH_InnisAndErnest_DigitalAssets2+%282%29.jpg Innis and Ernest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/b55c4d9f-a3e3-40b4-b134-bff42778d0a9/BH_InnisAndErnest_DigitalAssets4+%283%29.jpg Innis and Ernest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/107ec21b-d1e3-4e2d-9c01-40dcdc58d577/BH_InnisAndErnest_1080x10802+%282%29.jpg Innis and Ernest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/76e7e9d2-ea55-4e55-828c-d7367134713a/BH_InnisAndErnest_DigitalAssets6+%282%29.jpg Innis and Ernest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/db6624f2-82b9-4ed6-8ab9-7aa16013c962/BH_InnisAndErnest_DigitalAssets+%287%29+%281%29.jpg Innis and Ernest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/a7226dc8-b349-4579-9ca4-bf6ab9996698/BH_InnisAndErnest_DigitalAssets2+%287%29+%281%29.jpg Innis and Ernest https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/087d81c2-8a5f-4d29-bc24-0e1942b0bc50/BH_InnisAndErnest_1080x1080+%282%29.jpg Innis and Ernest https://carissashillito.com/home daily 1.0 2022-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eb880de946b3e160a3ddf49/1666361459992-PXVFZ5U2RE8C0HVTZ0CZ/Innis+Cover.png Home My picture book Innis and Ernest, published by B&H Kids, is On sale now!
