Early mornings. Earlier this week I talked about my typical day. The game changer for me has been that 5 AM wake up (although this week it’s been more like 6). 5AM is a killer (killer) but I get oh so much more accomplished when I get up early. 20oz glass water bottle.

Seven things that are saving my life right now

Coffee with Writer Friends. Spring break y’all. That’s all I have to say. My husband and mother-in-law were awesome enough to watch the kids for a morning (after my mother-in-law had them all weekend—she’s an absolute saint) so I could sneak away and have coffee with this gal. It’s so great to recharge your soul and be inspired to write,… Read More
