I feel a little foreign and out of place on my laptop as I write today. Strange. This is usually my place of comfort and joy. In case you were wondering where I’ve been the past couple of weeks, I took some precious time away with my hubby to celebrate our 25th...

It’s Mother’s Day this weekend! Yay! Not that we NEED a day set aside to tell us how deeply appreciated and wonderful we are (hmmm)... but, hey, we might as well sit back and enjoy! I was reminded today of one of the most amazing experiences I have had as a mother....

I am beside myself with excitement. May is shaping up to be the most incredible month ever, with events such as Mothers’ Day, my birthday (yes, I still get excited), our 25th wedding anniversary (yes, we got married at the age of 12), 10 nights on our celebratory...

I had my first experience in a police station last week. I put my criminal mind into overdrive. Got your attention? Thought so… Before you start wondering what on earth I have been up to, it’s all good. Well, sort of. We are undergoing the arduous process of gaining...

Our furry baby, Ginger Lily, is celebrating her birthday today- she’s 2 years old. She doesn’t realize this, but then again she doesn’t realize much...ever. Lily’s not the smartest pup on the block, she’s full of wrinkles, snores like a freight train, displays zero...

It’s hard to believe exactly a year ago today I officially became a published author! I feel giddy thinking about the moment my authoring dream became a reality!                           And as an...

I had no idea it would impact me so deeply. Oh me, with my strong resolve and control over my emotions. I’m not the soppy, sentimental type- I throw out birthday cards after their obligatory week on display and shed a tear very rarely. Man, I sound harsh! But as I...

It’s Friday and I’m coming up for air after a week in my “fiction land” writing world, feeling more than ready for some reality! So I’m taking a moment to reflect on the goodness of last weekend- EASTER! (Where did that whole week just go??) I’m grateful for so many...
