Ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to become a published author before the age of forty. Never did I expect that dream to be such a thorn in my side. Having grown up in a Christian home and coming to faith in Christ at a young age, I've long understood that God… Continue reading Did You Call Me or Not?

DIY Doll Tree Swing
Bonjour, mes amis! C’est moi, Ellowyne Wilde. It’s a sad time to be me these days. Not only did I (and my dolly peeps) get booted from our cozy home in Laurie’s dining room and crammed into a cold-hearted cabinet (because of a move to another town that ended up not happening!)... ...but we learned a few… Continue reading DIY Doll Tree Swing

Ah, the joys of motherhood. Not.
I frowned at my youngest daughter, sure I’d heard her wrong. “No? But you’re taking a shower later today. Your body’s going to be clean and—” “No! I don’t want you to change my sheets. The more you wash them, the more pilly they get, and then it annoys me when I go to bed.”… Continue reading Ah, the joys of motherhood. Not.

What if We Lay Aside the Blame?
These days, the nation looks more like the Fractured States of America than the United States of America. There’s so much anger and fear, name-calling and hatred, bitterness and resentment. But what if… WHAT IF, instead of accentuating our differences, we focused on what makes us the same? Each of us at one time or… Continue reading What if We Lay Aside the Blame?

What’s Your Word for 2017?
Happy New Year! Are you sad to see the old one go? Thrilled to see this new one come? Vice versa? When I sit down and take a moment to think back over the year, 2016 was a pretty good one, but I’m hoping 2017 turns out to be even better. Last year, I had… Continue reading What’s Your Word for 2017?

New Perspective…?
My blog has been quiet because my life is not. But here’s a quick post until I have time to sit down and pen some exciting news. Last weekend my family spent a good portion cleaning our house, and I got a little pushback from my daughters. “Why do we have to clean now for a… Continue reading New Perspective…?

Tinsel à la Phone Case
Last week I shared some of the things I worked on this summer when I had limited writing time. But I saved the best for last. Well, best in my opinion. 😉 If you’ve followed me for a while (or know me in person), then you've come to realize I love Christmas. Which is part… Continue reading Tinsel à la Phone Case

Though Writing Ebbs, the Creative Waters Keep Flowing
I didn’t get a lot of new writing done this summer. With the lack of a schedule, the kids being home for summer break, a family vacation, and the fact I wanted to focus more on querying agents when I did get time to write, fresh words just didn’t make it on the page. But… Continue reading Though Writing Ebbs, the Creative Waters Keep Flowing
