Love Letters

So. I have a goal starting Jan 1 — yes, I’m already starting “New Year Resolutions”, goals, “promises never intended to keep” (kudos to you if you know what movie that last quote is from…), what have you — that goal is to write my  husband love letters. I haven’t decided if I want to do 12 (one a month… Read More

Quilt Season Is Here!

I love quilts. I’m not quite sure when this love started, however, it’s now deep in my bones! One of the big reasons I love drafty old houses is because in fall/winter you can pile quilts on the bed and on the back of couches for random bouts of cuddles. The first cold snap hit about two weeks ago here… Read More

The Weekender

It’s so amazing how little kinks in life can upset the flow of things and get you off track! So sorry, dear blog readers, to leave you randomly last week. Life threw in kinks (good kinks, but kinks) which shifted the norm forcing a new norm. I think we might have gotten back into the swing of things. Hopefully I… Read More

Products to Love: Method Le Scrub

Products to Love: Method Le Scrub

A while back I decided that I wanted to go more natural with my cleaning products. At the time I was pregnant and didn’t want to have to worry about smelling harmful fumes, but didn’t want to compromise on cleanliness of my home. Now I have two little ones running (well, running and going to be crawling in about 4-6… Read More

The Running Playlist

While running, I generally just listen to a random Pandora station (such as P!nk or Britney Spears — normally it gives me good upbeat music to run to). Then I realized that Pandora has a “workout” genre! Seriously the best ever! While listening to my random running Pandora stations, I starting stashing away songs that help me get through the… 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.
