Well, it happened last month: my firstborn child turned eighteen. Overnight, she became a legal adult.

Hello! I hope everyone has had a pleasant October!

Oh, my--I really haven't done a very good job keeping up with this blog, have I? Part of the reason for this is because I'm trying to devote more time to my WIP.

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.
