Maybe Warning – soapbox ahead Lately, I have been finding it hard to read. Except for a few authors whose stories are safe bets, I’ve found myself not wanting to finish books or continue series that I once loved. The big question I had to ask myself was, why? The answer was simple: some of …

Which is exactly what I did this New Year’s Day. I spent some time in the garden and some time straightening up the house and doing some cooking. I also spent a little time drawing. But more importantly, to my mind at least, I was able to daydream a bit and get some words down …
My husband’s parents used to tell him that, and sadly, it’s 100% true. No matter how much we want to do it all, most times it’s just not possible. I have been feeling that more and more lately. I love to do so many things, gardening, writing, cooking, art… not to mention those things I …

For any of you who also follow me on Instagram, it will come as no surprise to learn that I love to take pictures. I have even posted a few here and there on this blog in the past (Found on my camera, Pictures and Progress). Well, as you can imagine, this tendency has led …
Happy Halloween! So, this Down the Rabbit Hole post is a little different in that I didn’t fall down it researching a book. Not that long ago, my family went through a time when we lost one of our family members every year. As you can imagine, it was hard. It also made me realize …
