Okay, today's title probably seems sarcastic, kind of like the meme going around about not needing to say you see snow because we all have eyes, but for real, this isn't snarky. I tend to hibernate in the winter. Sure, I get groceries and run an errand or two, but more…
I'm in a television rut. College football is over. I don't enjoy watching basketball, and I have no clue what to watch. The only show I'm viewing regularly is Married At First Sight, which is very entertaining. But it only comes on once a week...so what should I watch? Here's…
Last week I had the pleasure of diving into Jody Hedlund's latest inspirational historical romance, Undaunted Hope. It's the third book in her Beacons of Light series, and I've been dying to read more about Tessa Taylor since she made a whopper of a mistake in the second book, Hearts Made Whole. I finished the…
I've had a two pack of white peppermint Lindor truffles on my desk all week. These little delights are so delicious, you can't help but close your eyes and black out a teeny bit while eating them. So smooth. So creamy. So full of calories and sugar. Bummer. Yeah, I'm…

For instance, I recently purchased the latest CD by Alabama Shakes, Sound and Color, a new medium-sized casserole dish since my favorite one had a huge chip in the handle, a boatload of…
Ten Truths About Writing? I've been writing full time for, let's see, eight years. The first year was FUN! Sure, I was nervous, but I was doing it--writing while my kids were in school the way I'd dreamed when they were toddlers. I couldn't wait to sit down and type…
Happy Friday, everyone! Today I'm excited to have a special guest, Michelle Lim! For all you writers out there, November is national novel writing month! NaNoWriMo is where writers sign up to write a 50,000 word novel in one month. I'm passing this year but cheering all my friends on! Look…
