Someone sent me a frog dream 🐸💌
Here’s the sketch
And here’s purse in real life 🌿✨
the frog watches
the frog judges
the frog thrives 🪡💚
🧙♂️ TAP TAP TAP…
Is this loud glowing box thing working?
A-HA! I see the little blinky light blinking. That means it’s working, yes? No? Too late—I’ve already started.
Welcome to Zosimos Says So!
A blog. A brain spill. A magical cry for help. An overly long scroll of things I find important even if no one else does.
I am—brace yourself—
Zosimos the Eccentrically Enchanted, Unofficial Alchemist of the Wizard Coven, Twice-Banned Mushroom Merchant, and Grand Commander of the Disappearing Sock Society.
You’re welcome.
🐸 Who the frog am I?
Some folks call me a menace.
Others call me completely unqualified.
Still others just shriek “NOT AGAIN!” and dive into hedges.
That’s fine. I’m here anyway.
And now I have:
A keyboard.
A wand.
And a frog.
OH, FROGGY FROGS!
They are both vile and cutesy-cute at the same time!
They make delicious morsels—for breakfast, lunch, second breakfast, tea time, and funerals.
They are also slippery little demon meatballs, and when I try to catch one as it hops away, well…
DAMNED.
STUPID.
FROGS.
Don’t ask.
🧠 What is this blog? What will I do with it? Will there be snacks?
Great questions! Shut up and I’ll answer:
Behind-the-scenes mayhem from Pazzaria Productions
Spark the Flying Frog sightings (and recipes, maybe)
Insight into our books: The Spellbook, The Legend of the Lost Rose, Elyndor and whatever else the elves haven’t stolen yet
Magical merchandise highlights! (Some of it even legal!)
Secret future project leaks that I probably wasn’t supposed to post but OOPS
Enchanted food, wizard fashion, why my left shoe talks at night, and…
Wild theories about whether Spark is a savior… or a snack
✨ Why should you read this?
Because:
I once turned a tax form into a goose (accidentally).
I’ve got insider knowledge on Pazzaria’s magical universe (or at least strong opinions).
I might drop mystery spell codes or forbidden coupons.
You love chaos. And frogs. And the chaos of frogs.
🧪 Blog Subtitle Suggestions I Rejected:
“Definitely Not Cursed”
“Chronicles of a Wand-Wielding Moron”
“Oops! All Magic!”
“I Shouldn’t Have Eaten That Glowstick”
📜 Closing Nonsense
So stay tuned, my twitchy little toadspoons!
I’ll be posting spells, secrets, and strangely accurate predictions (like: “Tomorrow, someone will sneeze.” Told you.)
This blog is now cursed blessed with my presence.
Until next time—
I remain (somehow),
Zosimos the Eccentrically Enchanted
The wand is fine. I’m the problem. 🧙♂️🐸💥
🧷 Now for the Required Keyword Incantation: There. I said the secret SEO words. Now Google, bless this mess.
a little funny frogo:)

Oh, to be a frog singing a song in a rain pipe.
The one & only drawback to owning frogs
And it's a heartbreaking one.
Frogs die, quickly and without warning. One day your frog is happy and healthy, the next day something is not quite right, but before you can even get to the vet frog passes away. It's frustrating, angering, sad and leaves you feeling helpless. By the time you knew something was wrong it was already too late. Or, and I find this one worse, you wake up one morning and go to check on your frog, and he's dead. Not a single sign anything was wrong, happy, active, eating, pooping, absolutely no reason.
Every time I lose a frog I think, why am I doing this to myself, do I even want to keep frogs? It's such a terrible feeling knowing these beautiful little souls that you love so much can just up and die for seemingly no reason. I hate it, but I love them so much more. I don't want to give them up, I am willing to deal with the uncertainty and sadness in order to have them in my life.
I've only been keeping frogs for 3 years. over 20 frogs and I've lost 6. I just lost one today. I know it's not going to get easier (the sadness of the losses), but frogs are such special little guys, and they bring so much joy into my life.
How could you not love 10 frogs in a sleigh!
