Dear Peeps, I will make it short and sweet today because yours truly is not feeling all that fantastic. Congratulations to all the semi-finalists for the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Contest! The Innocents made it to the Quarterfinals, but was not passed on to the finals. But I already feel like I won! I beat …
Yes, so it is true. I am on a Holly Black kick! After loving Valiant so much, of course I had to pick up Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale. With Sketchy Dave and Lollipop still hanging out in my head days after finishing the book, I couldn’t imagine reading anything else except some more Holly Black. Much …
It’s Cole Porter’s Anything Goes Friday and I couldn’t have found a more appropriate topic.“If you are going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair. If you are going to San Francisco, you’re going to meet some gentle people there…” We’ve all heard this song one time or another in the course …

My darling nephew Lucas, who is six years old, is all macho. He loves John Cena (the wrestler), wants to be a soldier when he grows up, and loves to play with guns, bats, balls, swords, bikes, skateboards, marbles, the works. He is all boy – in every sense of the word, and at six, …

I read a book this week, but it was sort of one of those books that can’t really be reviewed? You know what I mean? A guilty pleasure? One of those that you are just embarrassed if anyone finds out you’ve been reading that kind of smack? So instead of doing my weekly book review, …
Long day today so I will keep it short since I have to write. I wanted to share a little about myself and what’s going on in my car radio – or the various cars I use, I should say, …my mother’s, my brother’s, my sister’s, my husband’s, since I am..well…in between cars right now. …
About eight months ago Jackson and I (who was then around 20 months) were are the park. There was another little boy, who must have been around four, at the park also with his mother. The little kid had cool threads, one of those strider bikes, and a sword. The boy was playing with his mother …
I know I am a little late writing this blog, but hey! It’s still Monday! So it counts as “on-time”. Part of the reason why I am late today is because my good friend, who will we will Rebecca (to protect the innocent), talked me into doing this seven day fast to “cleanse our system”. …
