Holly Bowne replied to Holly Bowne's discussion 'What do you feel draws moms so passionately to this series?' in the group Twilight TwitterMoms

Thanks Rugbymom and Lani! You two have really helped clarify it for me. I knew I loved these books, but I couldn't put my finger on what it was about the series that had me reading it through TWICE! I haven't read a book twice since I was in juni...

Lani replied to Holly Bowne's discussion 'What do you feel draws moms so passionately to this series?' in the group Twilight TwitterMoms

I loved the series as well and was going to post the same question on the discussion board. Here is why I think moms especially love this series: 1. The reading is light, easy, and is a big escape from our day to day stresses of family, work, mar...

Rugbymom replied to Holly Bowne's discussion 'What do you feel draws moms so passionately to this series?' in the group Twilight TwitterMoms

IMHO it is the writing, the character development and the love story coupled with the adventure/danger of the vampire/fantasy world. It has everything and the story flows. The writer takes you so vividly through each thought, description, conversa...

Holly Bowne replied to Kate Beem's discussion 'Would you ask your teen whether he's using drugs?'

Yup, I've done it. As well as asking point-blank if alcohol was served at any parties they've attended. Sometimes, just to watch their mortified expressions as they're leaving the house, I'll kiss them farewell and say things like, "Make good choi...

I usually wait 3-4 weeks before following up. But I recently participated in a webinar hosted by Linda Formicelli (The Renegade Writer) and she says she only waits two weeks!

What do you feel draws moms so passionately to this series?

I've just finished reading the entire series through for the second time, and I just really, really LOVE these books. Probably even more than my teenage daughter did. So now I'm trying to figure something out. What do you think is the "draw" for m...

Holly Bowne replied to Megan Calhoun's discussion 'What is the strangest talent you have?'

I can do a pretty good fake English or French accent. I'll sometimes answer the phone that way and pretend I'm the secretary for my kids' friends when they call. They LOVE it when I do that. NOT! Ha, ha, ha!

Holly Bowne replied to Tammy DePew Smith's discussion 'Backlinking? What is it?' in the group Mommy Bloggers

I have been wondering what backlinks are for quite a while now! Thanks for the great info in this first part of your series. It was really easy to understand. I will definitely keep my eye out for the rest of your series on backlinks.

Holly Bowne replied to Angelnina Haynes's discussion 'Freedom after 40 ?' in the group 40 and Fabulous

I have! I've enjoyed every stage my kids have gone through--er, for the most part. Now they are in their teens and they are so much fun. We have some really great discussions, and they have helped me grow as they have grown. Now that they are self...

Holly Bowne replied to Dee's discussion 'How do you pull a quote without an official interview?' in the group Freelance Writing Mamas

I'm so glad you asked that question, Dee. I wondered the same thing myself. I have read that you can use any quote from a press release without actually having to speak with the source, if you ever come across that situation.

Texting - Walk the Talk

I got busted! With all my high and mighty talk about placing limits on my kids' texting habits, it appears I needed a reminder to follow my own rule.

We took our annual family trek to Frankenmuth, Michigan a couple of weeks ago. For those of you who've never heard of Frankenmuth, it's a super cool town known as "Michigan's Little Bavaria." It is also home to the uber-famous Bronner's CHRISTmas Wonderland, the world's largest Christmas store. Bronner's unabashedly proclaims "the joy of Christ's… Continue

Girls Fashion Trends: Too tight or too short, that is the question

My 15-year-old son was having a discussion with one of his best friends and her mother on the way home from a Halloween party a couple of weeks ago. They were discussing the issue of girls' Halloween costumes. When purchasing a pre-made costume, it appears that girls, from elementary school age up through teen… Continue

Devastating News

I just received some devastating news. My son informed me he is not going trick-or-treating this year! It was bad enough when my daughter stopped.

I’m having déjà vu. This reminds me of how I felt when my daughter was 2-1/2 years old and I learned that naptimes didn’t last forever. Ridiculously,… Continue

Walkabout

I took a walk in the woods on Saturday. All by myself. This may not sound like a big deal to some, but I’m—er, over 40 and have never taken a walk in the woods by myself before. As a family, we’ve done plenty of hiking all around the beautiful state of Michigan, as well as in several other states and… Continue
