Products to Love: Essie Good to Go

Products to Love: Essie Good to Go

I have always loved the idea of a great home manicure. However, I’m a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to my nails. Every inch has to be painted and heaven forbid I ever get it off my nail and onto my finger. And then there’s the smudging. A good smudge messes up the whole dang thing. Essie polish… Read More

Adventures in Cloth Diapers: Why do I do it?

It is a question universally acknowledged — why in the world do I cloth diaper?! There’s the issue of the extra laundry, the “inconvenience” of out on the town, and the poo. Oh the poo.

Baby Number 2: What in the World To Register for!

Gone are the days of only a baby shower for your first baby. My church was kind enough to throw me a shower for my second and earlier this year they threw a shower of a mom due with her fourth! This brings up the question — what does one register for for the second (or third or fourth) kid… Read More

Our School Plan

Our School Plan

Most people think I’m insanely crazy for wanting to start school with E this year. I’m a nerd. I love school. I love learning. So how could I not start “school”? I’m using the term “school” loosely here. We are not going to be going through books or have a hard schedule. We’ll most likely be doing school once maybe… 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.
