Well, I'm still here. I'm still plugging away at, and wrestling with, my writing. Still a faith-filled mom who loves her family and whimsical things. But there have been a lot of changes since I last posted. Shortly after D2 went off to her freshman year of college, Hubby and I sold our house (we… Continue reading Still here … and yet, not

New Book Release
Oh, my poor blog. It has gotten booted down the priority ladder all too frequently in the last few years. But one good thing has come out of its creation, I suppose: its name. I use it for my DBA publishing name, it will be the name I’ll use if I ever officially hang up… Continue reading New Book Release

Still Here …
Hello? 🫣 I'm really just popping on here to say that. To let you all know I'm still alive and well (mostly), even though it's been six months since my last post. I never said I was good at this blogging-thing. 😜 Life continues to trek on at warp speed. I know I'm not the… Continue reading Still Here …

How to Recognize a Lie? Know the Truth
I originally wrote the following post for Storyteller Squad—a blog my small online critique group started a few years ago to share writing tips and book reviews—but by the time I finished writing the piece, it had become a message I wanted to share here, too. So...enjoy. 😋 I sometimes feel like a rebel when… Continue reading How to Recognize a Lie? Know the Truth

Hello? Anybody Home?
Can you believe it’s been over a year since I posted to this blog?! 😱 And it was such a busy, crazy year, too, filled with things I could have shared in several posts! Although, the busyness might help account for why I didn’t take the time to stop and write everything down and post… Continue reading Hello? Anybody Home?

Eighteen Years in the Blink of an Eye
Well, it happened last month: my firstborn child turned eighteen. Overnight, she became a legal adult. Her younger sister, age fifteen, is quick to remind her nowadays that she doesn’t have to ask her parents’ permission to do certain things anymore. (I think we know which of my two children needs more supervision, huh?!) ;)… Continue reading Eighteen Years in the Blink of an Eye

The Wait is Over
So...it's been a while since I've posted. From my experience as a mom of 15+ years, we mothers seem to go from one busy season to the next busier season as our children grow, and my blog has taken a backseat to other priorities. But I thought I'd take a quick moment to share with… Continue reading The Wait is Over

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.

Yellow Light
Yes. No. Wait. When we go to God with a prayer request, we love to hear the first one, frown to hear the second one, but I think the most frustrating answer we receive sometimes is “Wait.” Why, Lord? For how long? Pretty please, can’t I have [insert request here] now? In the spring… Continue reading Yellow Light
