I have done a few things:
Babysitting (typical high school side job)
Clarinet tutor-mainly for 5-6th graders, if you have ever heard a child learning to play the clarinet for the first time, you can probably appreciate the tolerance this job requires. lol
Volunteer Venturing scout advisor
Volunteer Youth leader for 7th-12th graders
School speech language pathologist
Hospital/nursing home/rehab speech language pathologist
Mom
Author

That's exciting. Merry Christmas, Alex!

Oh my gosh! I am so happy for you, Carole!

I want to wish this encouraging and incredible group of authors and readers Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Enjoy time with family and friends. Give them hugs and tell them you love them. Safe travels if you are journeying for the Holidays. I know many of you will be away from GR for a while, so if that is you, see you in 2018!

It is very challenging to manage your time when there is so much to do. I have yet to master it, but I can say that you need to make sure prioritize what is most important to you at the time. I also make lists. Whatever you do, make time for yourself and your family everyday. You could work on your "to-do" list ALL day if you let yourself, but you will burn out quickly.

The coupon was extended to 12/18/17

Sorry Rocio. I am glad you got a response finally.

"they spent a lot of time banging their heads into walls before they got one to crumble". I like that Dale!

It was the "real stuff" but it sure didn't taste like chocolate to me.

I had some chocolate from Tanzania before. Wow! I don't think there was any sugar at all. I love Ghirardelli.

Thanks, Carole. :) And congrats, Faith!

Way to go, Barbara! Congrats!

Total order of at least $15. One coupon per account.

They did this last year too and I saw a few extra sales from it. Fingers crossed!

If your books are sold by amazon.com, they are running a special. $5 off a $15 book purchase. Great coupon to let your readers know about. Expires 12/14/17. The code is BOOKGIFT17.

I like your new layout, Carole. :)

I had a great turn out at the library today! I was signing books and handed out a ton of flyers for the Indie Advent Calendar and my Facebook party. If you haven't check the Facebook party out, please do. Especially if you are interested in possibly winning some kids books. Carole, Becky, Judy and Rocio are all giving away paperback books. All you have to do is simply comment on their posts to enter. There are also Amazon gifts cards and other items up for grabs. Go to
