Last night as I was walking upstairs to say goodnight to my three elementary aged kids, my ears caught wind of lots of giggling and whispering. Curious, I tiptoed down the hallway, eager to see what they were up to. I quietly peeked my head around Jake’s bed ... Read more...
Over the past week, I’ve had several inspiring moms contact me, asking how I started my writing career and how they can do the same. I actually was honored that they wanted to hear my story, which isn’t a traditional writer’s path. And in today’s world, y ... Read more...
Today is Earth Day! And my children are the ones who remind me of how important it is to take care of the Earth. Just the other day they said, "Mom, did you know the Earth is a living thing?" And they are right! ... Read more...
