For the Love of Books

I’m blaming my love of books on my parents. No really. It’s all their fault. I remember the first book my dad brought me home I was about three or four years old. I’m pretty sure he got it while on a business trip—The Velveteen Rabbit. It was a hardback copy with a hunter green cover and beautifully illustrated jacket. There… Read More

Fun Stuff

This would work especially well for all those work-at-home moms out there. Then again, it wouldn’t work so well if all the ones you’re at home working around can’t read the note and just want to color it or put a note on their backs like momma. {as found here. this is my life peoples}

Hello, March!

I can not tell you why I am so excited about March. But I am. Maybe it’s because March “feels” like the first month of “spring”. Maybe it’s because it’s my bestie’s birthday month. Maybe it’s just the start of a new month and new month means new beginnings. And oh March do I have lofty plans for you. Hang… Read More

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.

You got this. I’m cheering for you.
