Anything that matters?  It seems that my daily […]

I hustled my bustle before we left for Disneyland and got a ton of work done so I could fully embrace the magic without interruption. Go me! Doing that has made December slow and easy and really lovely. For me, freelance is one of those “when it rains it pours” type of things and honestly, I’ve […]

Once August arrives though, whoa, things pick up at breakneck speed around here! By the time we turn the calendar to […]

There they are. The reason I write. The inspiration for just about everything. Love them. Love them big time. If you would have told me 6 years ago that I’d be earning a decent part-time income from sharing words on the internet I never would have believed you. In fact, some of you have written lately […]

Don’t forget to enter the PayPal giveaway! Everyone loves a little extra $$$ in their PayPal account, right? On Tuesday evening I went to acupuncture. It was my first real session – the technical first being when I was in labor with Jemma and had an acute treatment, but this was a full session and […]

Popping in to share a few of my writing pieces that aren’t on my blog, but are on the internet! These could also be called “The Fruits of Mom’s Panera Escape” since that is where I tend to do most of my focused writing these days :) And, as always, thank you so much for your love […]
