So when I’m having a day that I’m struggling to get through it helps me a lot to think about being in the moment. Things like my children saying goodnight to their Dad, my hubby coming home from work to me, and the light on the mountains all keep me going in the right direction. […]

Here’s the birthday girl (me) in my sequin dress, which has become a birthday tradition for me. But the best part was the cake. I was pretty tickled when one of my best gals pals came to my door with a Scrabble cake. That is the letters of my name spelled out in cake. See below. I love celebrating […]

I wake up and think soccer. Who’s on? How long will it take the first team to score? Can a team down by 3 come back to win? Now the kids are on board too and it’s awesome to share this game with them. I absolutely love how many fans are cheering, how many teams […]

Let me introduce you to Dixie, our 15 year old black lab. She’s pictured here with her buddy Blackie, who is a very friendly 1 year old lab (Blackie is in the foreground). We found Dixie years ago at an SPCA and have loved her ever since. She came to us before our children, so […]

Ok, I’m just going to say it. My ereader has changed my life. Not in a figurative/abstract way but in the most literal sense. Right now I’m researching my third story and I’m doing it on my ereader. I have been working on the internet, getting books from the library and reading about anything and […]

So here she is. My pal, my friend, my roadbike. I’ve wanted one of these since I was about 20 years old and a few years ago we splurged and I bought a new one. As a kid, I rode my bike everywhere. This continued through university and up until I met my hubby. I […]
