What I’m Reading

title: And Only to Deceive author: Tasha Alexander genre: Adult (shocking I know); Historical Fiction thoughts so far: I’m loving this book. It’s like Jane Austen + a murder mystery, only, not. A big huge thank you to Shannon Dittemore who recommended it (although I absolutely loved the last series she recommended I read so this lady is pretty good… Read More

Preschool: The Start

Preschool: The Start

First off here’s a little disclaimer. We haven’t necessarily talked about whether or not to homeschool “for real”—haven’t really even broached the subject except for here and there and then we realize that we have at least 2 years before E even has to start going to school and we push the subject off. Part of me wants to homeschool—it’s… Read More

Happy Birthday to my Drew-B

Oh, Drew, how are you already two?! You are such a fantastic little boy. So much life (and orneriness!) You love hippos, trains, cars, planes, super heroes, and just about anything your big sister likes. You love babies—and for this I’m grateful because you won’t be the only baby anymore in five months. And you’re going to be a great… Read More

August To Dos

So I’m taking a cue from Elise and I’m writing out my August to dos. I’m keeping it simple. 3. That’s it. Believe me, I have many many more, but keeping it at 3 seems to be more . . . doable. 1. Finish editing book. 2. Try Paleo. 3. Start Elsie’s quilt. I need to finish editing my book…. Read More

Making Time To Write

Making Time To Write

So I’m reading this book (I know. . . big surprise right?) Pen on Fire: A Busy Woman’s Guide to Igniting the Writer Within. So far I’m liking it, like a ton. There are lots of different writing exercises at the end of each short chapter, and for once I’m actually doing the exercises (most of them anyways). One of the… Read More

what i’m reading this week

I have a bad habit of reading numerous books at the same time. I didn’t always have this problem, but then I started college and, being an English major reading numerous books for different classes at the same time, I learned to read numerous books at one time. So without further ado. . .here’s the numerous books I’m reading this… Read More

Want to read Project Grinch first? 

While I don’t have a lot to tell you about the storyline, the general idea is if the Grinch and Buddy the Elf were stuck on a roadtrip together at Christmas time (the Grinch is female in this story!) 

If you like YA fiction, rom-coms, and Christmas stories, you hopefully will enjoy Project Grinch.

That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened That was twelve years ago... and I almost listened. 

I’m really glad I didn’t. To be honest, this person wasn’t wrong. At the time I wasn’t very good at writing. It was early on in my career. Hearing that I should give up was a punch to my gut and I had two choices. 

I could listen, and not write ever again.

OR

I could buckle down and get better. 

I chose to get better. I still don’t think I’ve “arrived” but I am a lot better than I was then. 

So this is me telling you — don’t ever stop dreaming, don’t ever stop learning, and don’t take bad advice. 

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
