Supporting My Local Library (With My Fines)
If you've been around a while, you know I have a fear of public libraries. Not of what they are, but of my own tendency to lose books or forget to return them for weeks months years on end. But as I worked on my book manuscript over the past few months, my feelings of dread were mostly replaced with warm-fuzzies. Y'all, when you need a place … [Read more...]
Know What’s More Annoying than Not Having a Dustpan?
Know what's more annoying than not having a dustpan and having to use the old wet-a-paper-towel-and-wipe-up-the-bits-and-pieces trick? Not having a dustpan and having to use that trick even though I DID have a dustpan about three minutes before this picture was taken. Right. I had a dustpan the first time I needed it, but the second time … [Read more...]
079 T.P.A.D. Time Passage Awareness Disorder Podcast

This is embarrassingly easy. I'm going to categorize it as a recipe, but that's a stretch.

Exciting Stuff Coming Soon!
Ever since I finished the manuscript for my "real" book, I've been pretending it's okay chill out and read fiction whenever I feel like it. And yet life keeps happening. But I have managed to get a few things checked off my never-ending to do list before Christmas! First, I set up a special email list because I will be hosting live video … [Read more...]
Super Easy Christmas Craft – Miniature Wreaths
I heard of these years ago from another mom at my kids' gymnastics class. She had older daughters and told about all the fun they had making these mini-wreaths to use as wrapping decorations. That was before Pinterest was a thing, so I only have her to credit for the idea, and I don't even remember her name. But I'm sharing, because if you're … [Read more...]
Two Second Task: From “Pile of Stuff” to “Nativity Scene”
I have no excuses. I saw this duster sitting in the wrongest of wrong places, and hadn't moved it. Therefore, what should have been my favorite Nativity display was instead just part of "stuff on the coffee table." Two seconds later, after moving the duster? It was back to being a sweet and meaningful display. Hurry. Go spend two … [Read more...]
