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...

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!

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.

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...

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.

Thanks so much to everyone for all the feedback so far! That's encouraging, Veera. I've been striving for a mere half hour a day on my novel, and feeling like it's not enough. But I guess half hour is better than skipping it completely. Baby steps...

It's a constant challenge, balancing work, family, other life stuff, and writing. Maybe for some of us, writing that novel is the paid work that we do and easier for it to be a priority, but for many of us it's the thing we fit in after everything...

Wow that's so wonderful you not only design and sew (I can't!) but have turned those talents into a successful business. Good for you!

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

Hello Holly! My name is Beatrice and I sell Ardyss body reshaping garments for women of all ages, sizes and body types. I came here specifically for the mothers who are interested in losing the baby fat and getting back in shape, the ones who are pregnant and looking for extra support during pregnancy, as well as for the empty nest mothers who are looking to pamper themselves and restore their pre-child figure. :-) If you are, let me know and I'd be happy to provide you with more information about the company and answer any questions. Have a blessed day and I hope that you are enjoying motherhood!
