the HCG Project

the HCG Project

Yesterday marked day 1 of round 2 of HCG. Two months back Andy and I did a round — end result was he lost 20+ and I lost…. 12. I’m chalking that up to the fact that he’s a man and I’m a woman and for some reason men can just think about losing weight and drop 10 pounds (prove… Read More

What’s the Deal with E?

Ok. Of course I’ve been avoiding this like the plague, but I’m diving in. Many of you have probably seen E lifted up in prayer on facebook or friends questioning what’s going on. The short – we don’t know. The long(ish)? We’re testing to rule out diabetes. For whatever reason E’s blood sugar spiked on Tuesday so we spent the… Read More

We went to the fair

We went to the fair

Friday nights, for a while now, has been the “go to Yia Yia and Papa’s house” (my parent’s) night. This week was a little different as (1) I had 2 hours of sleep in 36 hours and (2) My parent’s church had a booth at the county fair. So me and the two littles went with Yia Yia and Papa… Read More

Farmer Market Day

Farmer Market Day

I have always always wanted to go to the farmer’s market, but was to shy to adventure by myself (with both kids) into this unknown land. So Saturday, I talked my mom (ok really there was no “talking in to” I just asked and she said yes) into going with me. I. Am. In. Love. I’m just kicking myself that… 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. 

What do you say? Wanna help me out? Spaces are limited and you’ll be notified by August 17th of acceptance!

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.
