Agreed. lots of fun, and appropriate size for a Sunday morning (since I got the NYT done last night).
I think I'm also MONIED but waiting confirmation. One thing really popped out meta-wise. Nice to have an easy one to finish the weekend on a week 4!

Fun, and unusual grid entries. Sara must have an interesting academic background or very broad reading interests.

Done and Done - Fun! Despite what they said I did need Google for the meta though. This would definitely be a good starter puzzle for someone.

Getting into a bad habit of needing a nudge and a bit to get started on metas - if anyone fancies giving me the slightest tap that would be fantastic!
EDIT: Two quick messages from oldjudge and TPS set me straight and there's a big click despite not sending it in yet.

Out of the box (Pandora's) or the blocks. Since the puzzle name changed, it seems the old trains (for adults and kids alike) have left the station
This was a well-made and fun puzzle. Cheers to Ms. Cantor!

I’m out of the box. (Like that better than the dinosaur thing:) Welcome, Sara! Hope to see more.

Found a nifty little outbox icon. That’ll work.

Well why do the emoji icons change when I submit them? Tea cup turns to soup bowl and my outbox doesn’t look right at all. Darn.

I think perhaps that only Joe Ross could explain the emoji mysteries.
