2019 ACFW Carol Award WinnerWell folks, we are back. 2013 rushed in, and now Kayla and I are back to blogging and everything else after our little hiatus. Yes, things are still crazy. Yes, there will always be craziness. But we are looking forward to the journey and with you – our readers – along for the ride. I have a lot of writer …
A Bit O’ News… and an Old Favorite – Turkey Diving
We’ve taken a good bit of time the past couple years to re-group, so to speak. 🙂 Our lives have been crazy-overly-busy, but we’ve wanted to keep our priorities straight. In doing that, we backed off the blogging. Yes, I know. (No need to throw any cyber tomatoes at us – LOL) We’ve received all your emails about how we’re …
So…Your Everything?
I haven’t written a post like this one in a while, but it’s been heavy on my heart. More people than I could have ever imagined have been writing in.

When everything was done and the final inspections were done, one of the …
Puppies, An Announcement or Two, Titanium Knees, Fires… Slacker

Random…If Something’s Gonna Happen…
For a while, I did random posts on Mondays. (And I’ve had a lot of you email me telling me I needed to get my pattooty in gear and do them again.) Yes, they were crazy. Yes, they were weird. Yes, I know you loved them. But, I got overwhelmed with all the “random” things flying my way as soon …
Practice What You Preach…Especially at the Post Office
I’m so convicted. Today started off uneventful. But then, I had to make a mad rush to the Post Office for an important package that had to be postmarked today. I’m on the road on a book tour – so this entailed finding all the close Post Office locations and calling to find out their hours (because they don’t all …
