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 …

Please Tell Me Your Experience with the Container Concept for my Book!
My brain is on overload, but I'm in the zone as the deadline for the book I'm writing approaches so quickly!!! Don't know what I'm talking about? I'm writing a book that will be published by Thomas Nelson (that you'll be able to buy in a bookstore and hold in your hands). I want to bring a little of our Slob Club to that book. I want the …
Six Years (and a day) Later! (And a Very Big Announcement!!)
Oops. I knew my sixth blogiversary was coming up this week since I started the blog on the day this kid went to kindergarten in 2009. I just assumed it wasn't the exact same day. I was wrong. On August 24th, 2009, I wrote the first post on what was supposed to be my secret, anonymous, temporary, practice blog. The state of my house was …
Summer’s Coming!
Summer's coming, and I'm soooo excited! I can't wait to spend all day every day with my kids. But I know it also gets crazy, so I'm doing what I can to be ready. Out of my last Zaycon order of chicken, I baked about fifteen pounds to freeze and have ready for quick and easy suppers this summer. I'm also trying to get things ready for summer …
Accepted
I blog about my deep, dark secret. It's why I'm "Nony" here. Short for aNONYmous, I never, ever planned on putting my face to that name. But a lot has changed over the past almost-four years. My deep, dark secret is now my (full-time-hours/part-time-pay) job. And I've stopped hiding. I still don't immediately volunteer the information …
Two Years Down . . . A Half-Century (or So) to Go
Today is my second blogiversary!!! Meaning . . . two years ago today I wrote the first post on A Slob Comes Clean. No one knew I was writing it. Not even my husband. I had just come up with the blogging-for-accountability-and-focus idea and had to get going. Like when you're standing on a high-dive and know that if you think too long, …
My Savvy Blogging Summit Re-Cap . . . And a Few Plans for the Fall
The kids are at Grandma's for a few days this week. Which means . . . . I'm planning to spend a chunk of time working on my blog(s). I learned a lot at the Savvy Blogging Summit, and came home with a brain that was whirling from all of the things I could/should/needed-to do. But I also came home to three precious children who will be grown …
I’m Off to Learn More About Blogging (Way More)!
Later this week, I'll be heading to the Savvy Blogging Summit to learn more about how to improve this little ol' blog of mine. And I'm so very thankful that part of my trip is being sponsored by Clever Girls Collective. If you've been around here long, you know that I don't apologize for wanting this blog to be my gig. My paying gig. I …
A Small Improvement for Those Reading Backwards
If you were in the middle of reading backwards when I switched from Blogger to Wordpress last month, you were probably frustrated that the way you were reading changed. I was frustrated too. Frustrated doesn't even describe it. I'm still working to figure out how to make it the way it was, but I did happen upon the "Calendar" feature this …
