Update

Dear friends,

I'm sorry I have been away so long!  A lot has happened in my life since I blogged last.  I finished a middle grade novel that I will be submitting soon.  I will be transitioning this blog from a parenting blog to one primarily related to books (with some personal tidbits every now and then).  I hope you will follow along!  I will be sharing book reviews and fun side-stories I created while I worked on my middle grade novel, The Shadowlands.  Did you know, in the Shadowlands there are fairies who love math?  I hope you'll join me and bring your kids along! 

By the way, isn't this copy of Bleak House delicious?  And who wouldn't write a little better when surrounded by Jane Austen quotes?  (while eating tacos?) 

By the way #2, I had so much fun writing my novel!  I was able to weave in some really fun literary themes and references.  When you read it, see if you can spot Bleak House!

Funeral Potatoes

This post isn't really about funeral potatoes.  I just wanted to make sure you're still awake!

Readers, I have missed you!  I have been off having a miserable divorce, thank you very much.

I have missed connecting with you and having a place to verbally vomit all of the things that are swimming around in my head at all times!  I have so many goals to share, and ways I want to improve!  I personally kind of hate January, but I love resolutions, and I'm trying hard to find things I can like about January. 

Do you like January? What makes it bearable for you? Also, dear readers, please let me know what I can do to catch you up on our lives since I posted last. What do you want to know? Hugs to all.
