National Day of Coffee

National Day of Coffee

National Day of Coffee, I love you. I love coffee and while it’s true I don’t drink it as often as I used to (see this post) I still very much love it.I’m pretty sure on the seventh day, after he finished creating the world, God sat down and took his rest with a large steaming coffee of wonderful coffee….

Adventures in Cloth Diapering: Pre-folds vs. AIO

There are so many different choices when it comes to cloth diapers and brands. For my family, we’ve chosen the bum genius brand (one size, all in ones). It just made more sense to buy one diaper that will last from newborn to potty trained and for us the fit is great. However, bum genius, at $18 a diaper, could… Read More

It FINALLY Came!!!!

Technically this was for her birthday (which is still a month and a half away). It came via UPS today. I couldn’t hide it away. I had to get it out so she could play with it. I know I’m terrible.

The Switch — Coffee to Tea

It has never been any question how much of a coffee lover I have been. I have always liked the stuff — from the first time my grandma let me take a drink from her cup (coffee and milk) to the time my dad took me out on a “date” and we went to the local coffee shop (and of… Read More

In our latest episode, we dive into the real struggles of transitioning from part-time to full-time writing. It’s not just about the words on the page; it’s about the daily habits and mindset shifts that lead to success.

We discuss the importance of keeping a writer’s log to track progress and hold ourselves accountable. It’s a game-changer! 

Writing is more than just a passion; it’s a commitment to our goals. And sometimes, that means adjusting expectations and embracing the unique path we’re on. 

What’s your biggest challenge in your writing journey? Let’s chat about it!

Do you really want to know which genre I write (the answer is, yes…) or what the book is about (it’s about people doing things and there’s probably kissing at some point) Also, it should be a crime to run out of coffee, and remind me again why we have to be on social media?

Is it just about getting published or making money? Or is there a deeper reason fueling your fire?

Drop a 🔥 if you’re still working on clarifying your why—trust us, it makes all the difference in staying motivated.

We’ve spent years chasing publication, but it wasn’t until we remembered our true purpose—creating stories that inspire and uplift—that our passions reignited. Knowing why we write helps us push through the frustrations and keep going, even when it’s hard (because, y’all—writing is hard).

Your why isn’t just a line in your bio; it’s the fire that keeps you writing through the setbacks and self-doubt. So, what’s yours? Share below, we want to hear it!
