With the cooling winds, soccer and baseball season ending, and the store sales on loose leaf, scribblers and pencils it’s obvious the summer is coming to an end and kids are getting ready to meet their new teacher. As an author, parent and homeschool teacher this does make me jealous and eager to buy new […]
On my wrist for almost a year I’ve worn a bracelet given to me by a great friend – Wendy Kitts. It’s nothing too impressive at first glance as it’s one of the rubber bands a lot of people have these days with words written on them. Much like some will wrap a string around […]

Don’t get me wrong, I do believe […]
It has come to my attention recently, in a bigger way then ever before, how important it is to just be yourself and follow your passion(s). I’ve listened to all the hype about just being yourself and got it but never really took the time to live it. We celebrate Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Valentine’s […]
I’m torn about a topic that is popular among artists of all kinds. The urge to do what you love as much as you can while receiving the credit you deserve while doing so. I get it! You wouldn’t hire a plumber to snake your pipes and because that makes him happy you don’t expect […]
