Beyond Balance: Embracing the Hats We Wear
I started blogging to try to find the balance between raising my family and working on my writing career. I interviewed close to a hundred moms and dads who seemed to have found that balance. Three years later I AM still searching for that balance. I’m starting to think balance is the wrong term to…
Renewed Writing Passion
I know just a couple of days ago I was ready to throw in the writing towel, (forgive the cliche!) but I might have a new story passion. No, my current WIP is not yet edited, but I needed a break and this story kept bouncing around in my head. The characters kept talking to…
ANGEL OF WRATH by Bill Myers
This week, the Christian Fiction Blog Alliance is introducing Angel Of Wrath FaithWords (April 8, 2009) by Bill MyersABOUT THE AUTHOR: Well, one thing led to another and even though I got C’s in my one writing class in college (and told God I could do anything for him but write) I got my first…
Clutter Free Christianity by Dr. Robert Jeffress
“It’s time to cut through the clutter and get to the heart of what it means to please God. In this liberating look at the core principles of faith, Dr. Robert Jeffress reveals the truth about what God really wants from you–and what He wants to do for you.” What I think: Clutter Free…
This Almost Makes Me Want to Have Another Baby…
I said ALMOST! But seriously, where were these cute and trendy maternity clothes ten, twelve, nine and even six years ago? Maybe they were out there, but I wasn’t about to spend the money for trendy boutique maternity clothes. But these maternity clothes are totally affordable! I love the more form fitting maternity clothes you’ll…
Something’s Gotta Give…
I’m almost ready to throw in the towel, call it quits, hold up the tattered white flag. I’m not sure how much longer I can do this. I’m getting flanked from every side, from the enemy, the home front and those I’m trying desperately to infiltrate and be a part of. And I’m not sure…
The Play’s the Thing…
It’s spring and that means it’s busy season again. Four kids, three in two different plays, two in soccer, four in music, two in swimming and 1 in dance! Kind of crazy, but it’s so fun to see them excel and have fun after an extracurricularless winter! Timmy, my 9yr., once told me “Mom, I’m…
Seriously Bumming!
I just got a rejection letter today! Not from a publisher, but from the board at ACFW regretting to inform me I’m not the recipient of their scholarship. There were 53 applicants and I knew it was a long shot, but I also believed that I would get it. Hoped that that would be a…
One Bathroom Down, Two to Go!
Okay, I’m ready to start remodeling the next bathroom, but my husband isn’t. After all, he’s the one that did all the painting and tiling and vanity installing. But I’m still doing my part. The research! Specifically, bathroom vanities. Our current master bathroom is atrocious. Plain ugly off white counter tops with white painted over…
If Tomorrow Never Comes by Marlo Schalesky
I’ve never read a book by Marlo Schalesky, but I met her at ICRS 2008. What is it about meeting an author in person that makes you want to run out, buy the book and read it from cover to cover. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to crack the cover yet. Too many good books,…
