Looking Back/Looking Forward
First of all, please forgive any typos you may see in this post. Typing is difficult today since I burned the middle finger on my right hand yesterday in a tragic peanut brittle accident. Some of the candy dripped onto the back of my finger as I was pouring it into the pans for cooling. Burned it good (especially since I couldn’t get the candy OFF ( Read more... ) -
Beautiful Book Trailer
Today I’m taking a moment to stop in and share one of the most beautiful book trailers I’ve ever seen. I wanted to read the book anyway (and have pre-ordered my copies), but, after watching the trailer, I wish it were already released (not until Nov. 4th). Anyway, the trailer is for FORBIDDEN by Kimberley Griffiths-Little (if I can get it to embed ( Read more... ) -
Monday’s Musings
Happy Columbus Day? Yep. It’s here. That glorious day when we celebrate/honor the man who “discovered” America even though we all know by now that he didn’t even reach North America. I’m not sure why we continue to have a Columbus Day-other than it’s an excuse for Federal Employees to have a day off. Not that Columbus wasn’t a great explorer. I ( Read more... ) -
Friday Freaky Fun
Okay, so Halloween is coming up and so is Fall. Because I enjoy doing craft-ish things, I couldn’t resist when my hubby showed me a link on Facebook that took me to the Mason Jar Crafts Love site. There are so many fun projects there! I chose a couple that I loved and got to work.
These are the things I made:

September Surprise
Things here have been-interesting. I’ve been doing quite a bit of revising on my new middle grade novel, which has been a blast. No. Really. I’ve very much enjoyed doing revisions this time around. I just finished another go at the manuscript and made some pretty good changes. Now I’m waiting for feedback before I’ll attack it again.
So, in the ( Read more... ) -
Saturday Stuff
Ah, the weekend. Here it’s actually Rodeo weekend (that means there’s a rodeo happening-which is a big thing in my town) so things are crazy! The girls and I went to the parade this morning, though we didn’t stay through the whole thing. We only stayed long enough to watch J’s friend march with the high school band (she’s in the color guard). The ( Read more... ) -
Friday Fishing
So it’s Friday. The last weekend of freedom for my kids before school starts on Wednesday. Daughter 2 has wanted to go fishing all summer but things have been so crazy, she hasn’t had a chance to. Hubby, Son 2, and I all went fishing in June, but Daughter 1 and Daughter 2 were at camp so they didn’t get to go.
We planned to go on Wednesday. Got in ( Read more... ) -

Another weekend is here. Yay! The kids are having a birthday party with their friends this evening. Not so yay.
Actually I’m sure they’ll all have fun, I’m just not sure I will.

Saturday Stuff and Recent Reads Review
Happy 4th of July weekend (for those in America who celebrate Independence Day)! It’s been cloudy and rainy. YAY!!! No really, I’m excited about the rain. It’s monsoon season for us here in AZ and we’ve been praying for rain since it sort of got a late start. There have already been forest fires in AZ this season, so we’ll take any rain we can get ( Read more... ) -
Friday Fatigue
What was I thinking? About ten months ago (or so), I decided it was time for me to lose some weight and get in shape. Too many years of sitting at my computer eating junk food and fast food meals finally caught up with me. I found myself about 25 pounds overweight. I downloaded an app on my iPhone to track the calories I eat (wow, what an eye- ( Read more... )
