Chasing My Tail

Yes, I know, if I were truly chasing my tail – it would be smaller. But seriously, where does the time go? Between speaking engagements, edits, deadlines, photo inserts, radio interviews, homeschooling, swim team, and just plain ole life – I’m behind. And I’m talking WAY, way, way behind. Biggest news is that my non-fiction book is available for pre-order …

Pondering

I haven’t blogged in a while. Life has been crazy, and I mean C-R-A-Z-Y. But what am I doing now? I’m sitting in bed, propped up by pillows, surrounded by kleenex, ibuprofen, antibiotics, and every kind of de-snottifying medication I had in the house.

Since Saturday is Valentine’s Day, I’d like this to be an interactive-let’s-write-something-ooey-gooey kind of post. I think everyone should share something mushy. A mushy story of you and your spouse. Or, it could be an almost-coulda-been-mushy-turned-hilarious kind of story. Or …

Neighbors

We had the experience of being the first home built in our neighborhood. We’ve been here a year and a half (roughly), and many homes have sprouted since. A couple of months ago, the kiddos and I made cookies to bring to all the neighbors. Wouldn’t you know, not one neighbor was home when we went to deliver them! 🙂 …

Hypocrites

Ouch. Just the title hurts, doesn’t it? The definition of hypocrite according to Encarta’s Online Dictionary is:“somebody who pretends to have admirable principles, beliefs, or feelings but behaves otherwise” We’re all hypocrites at one point or another. Did you read that? Did I step on your toes? We’re all imperfect. We’re all sinners. So you may be wondering why I …
