Celebrate the Small Things-August 24, 2018

It's Friday! Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain! I am her co-host.



The boys had their first day of school yesterday. They were all smiles and ready to get out the door. I know that excitement won't last forever, but I'll enjoy it while I can.  The house was definitely more quiet than I'm used to while they were gone, but Zoe made sure I didn't have a chance to get bored.

Back-to-school shopping is done. Lyle is obsessed with Minecraft, so we got him a creeper backpack. He spent an entire day carrying it around with him, so I think it's safe to say he approves of it. Both Jude and Lyle are excited to start back to school next week.



Zoe is learning new words almost every day,

WEP: Change of Heart

It's time for another Write . . . Edit . . . Publish Challenge!  This month the theme is "Change of Heart."  Denise Covey and Yolanda Renee have made this challenge possible, along with great work from Nilanjana Bose and Olga Godim.  Unfortunately Yolanda has not been well as of late, and I'd like to wish her the best.



I decided to write a letter this time, and while it turned out a tad

I'm going to be doing some shopping for school supplies this weekend. Part of my joy comes from sending my boys off to class (I love having them around during the summer, but yikes I need my writing time too!), but I'm also celebrating because that means I get to buy notebooks and pens and all sorts of

Celebrate the Small Things: August 3, 2018

It's Friday! Let's Celebrate the Small Things with Lexa Cain! I am her co-host.



I've started a new short story and gotten a little more work done on my novel WIP this week. While I didn't put as many words on the page as I would have liked, I'll still celebrate the progress that I've made.



Summer is winding down quickly. My boys are looking forward to starting school again, and I've

I've been out all day running errands, so this is the first chance I've had to write this post. The errands are now done, and I have some wine chilling so I can relax after the kids go to bed.



One of my sisters-in-law had a baby on Wednesday, so I have a new niece! She is absolutely beautiful, and my kids

Posting late again, mostly because it's been a crazy couple of days and I forgot. Oops! 



The weather around here was a bit unstable yesterday, to say the least. There were 27 reports of tornadoes all over Iowa, and at one point, the tornado siren where I live went off. Right in the middle of Zoe's nap

I know I'm posting late, but it's been a busy day and I kept forgetting to sit down and do this.  I hope you're all successfully avoiding people in hockey masks this Friday the 13th.







We ended up visiting the zoo last Saturday, and the kids had the best time.  Zoe absolutely loved the giraffes.

I'd like to start by wishing my husband a happy birthday! Though today is his special day, he still has to go to work, but at least it's Friday, right?



We all had a great 4th of July weekend. We got to set off and see lots of neat fireworks, and all of us remained safe.  The kids had an amazing time, and
