Dreaming of Water Fun
Though the weather is NOT cooperating and we’ve had less than a handful of days over 70 degrees this Spring, I’m dreaming of warmer weather (just changed my desktop screen to a tropical island surrounded by clear blue ocean.) Yet, with a pool still not uncovered and no prospect of clear blue water in a…

Okay, we got a little carried away on the set of Peter Pan with “Michael’s” teddy. But it was oh, so fun! My “Michael”

Read More10 Dumb Things Smart Christians Beleive by Larry Osborne
“Are Urban Legends and Sunday-school myths Ruining your Faith?” How can you NOT be intrigued by a title like that! I haven’t gotten around to reading this all but check out the chapters: Dumb Idea 1: Faith can Fix Anything Dumb Idea 2: Forgiving Means Forgetting Dumb Idea 3: A Godly Home Guarantees Godly Kids…
Read MoreConroy’s Creatures!
Ever watch that show on PBS, Kratt’s Kreatures which later turned into Zaboomafo? It featured two nature loving brothers trekking to animal habitats to observe these wonderful and amazing creatures. Well, I’m not much of an animal lover and it’s a miracle we even have a dog, but seems like the creatures here at our…
Read MorePolice and Military Dress for Success…in and out of Novels!
As a mystery/suspense writer I’m always looking for some great research sites that help me make my stories more realistic.

I’ve gotten past the weary in the waiting part after almost two weeks of the blahs (due to a rejection, what else) and just when I feel I can pick myself up off the floor and leave my pity party (and actually start writing again) I get slammed in the face with another issue. Lack…
Read MoreHomeschooling and Earth Day!
When I told my kids to play the Earth Game DVD, who knew it was actually Earth Day! It seemed like an easy and fun way to do school and learn about the earth and planet all in one. But it is Earth Day! I love it when things work out and I hadn’t even…
Read MoreRecitals and Plays and Costumes, OH MY!
It’s amazing how much it costs to cloth kids involved in theatre and recitals! I don’t even want to think of those kids who are into pageants! I briefly looked into it when my kids were little, but the fees just to enter are outrageous. Most shows we do don’t cost us a dime! But…
