Stretch for Life
Lori Walter, a Licensed Massage Therapist and Stretch Instructor, developed the Stretch for Life routine over a thirteen years period. The DVD is designed to help the average person or athlete “heal and repair their structural integrity.” I found this DVD very simple to use and liked the fact they used average people and not…
Not So Fast by Ann Kroeker
I am so guilty for over scheduling my kids and pushing them to “move fast,” though we’re going into a season of downtime. This book is really convicting and much needed in our fast paced society. I highly recommend it and I’m not even through the book yet! It is time for a FIRST Wild…
From Apathy to Anger…
When my last rejection came the other day, I felt disappointed and frustrated. I was really hoping this was it. When all the fruit of my labor would pay off. But nope! Not yet! In fact, after a summer long winning streak (various family members won three rounds of Wicked auction tickets, a trip to…

Dropping the Ball…and What's the Point?
I feel like I’ve dropped the ball on so many projects. I haven’t looked at Writer…Interrupted practically all summer and my writers (as well as myself) have been locked out of the blog for half the summer now. I started to pursue redesigning it, but don’t know a whole lot and frankly, sometimes I ask…

I’m not sure who I am any more, or more accurately, what I should be doing! Life is shifting gears with the onslaught of school and the inevitable scheduling changes. Our family is neck deep for the next three weekends reaping the fruit of our rehearsing labor with the productions of The Wizard of Oz.…
I Need a Vacation
This month has been crazy, and in another post I’ll go into a little more detail about all the exciting stuff that happened this summer, but for starters my daughter and I just returned from an overnight trip to Charlotte to tape a show for the Raggs PBS children’s show. It was fun and furious…
Mohamed's Moon by Keith Clemons
I really enjoyed this book, though I wouldn’t classify it as suspense or thriller. Though the dynamics of the two brothers and their differences was intriguing as well as the with the romance that drives this book. Though the ending was a bit predictable, it was a satisfying and enjoyable read! This week, the Christian…
We've Arrived!
We’re finally settled into our hotel after several delays (2 hours this morning!)A Raggs crew member met us wearing a bright orange t-shirt and a sign with my daughters name. She was shy at first, but started warming up. I’m just praying she warms up tomorrow for the taping. The only disappointment is that we…
Raggs and Dumpster, Here We Come! Paaaws Up!
As you’re reading this my seven year old daughter and I are on a plane (her FIRST plane ride,) heading for North Carolina to tape the Raggs PBS show and get interviewed by Dumpster the Cat. Life has been so crazy I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this yet, but here it goes… Mid…
