Em and I were talking about this last night and it got me to thinking. What stands in your way of writing? I know it’s different for everyone. For instance, many people can’t write with noise or with their children. I have a computer in the living room and an autistic son. Obviously, if I [...]
K, I’m going to be brutally honest here. We’re involving ourselves in this exercise today because I have nothing else to write about. But here it goes. How’s your goals list looking this year. This is a show and tell. I’ll show you mine but you have to show me yours. I’m not very [...]
I seem to be not that good at naming things. I have two children and naming them was a hideous experience on the part of both my husband and myself. One that involved a lot of lists and arguments. Naming my books seems to be basically the same for me. It’s a hideous experience that [...]
Have you ever read a book, gotten to the end and then thought, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Either because you loved it so much that you’re sad you missed such a great opportunity, or because they had a great idea and then shoddy execution.

So I started reading this book. I still haven’t managed to finish it but I am working on it. I won’t mention what book it was because this is not a review site and it wouldn’t be complimentary but it’s a large book by a large NY publisher and, what a shocker, it’s romantic suspense. [...]
I was at the park with my four-year-old daughter, otherwise known as E, while my older child was at school.

She was [...]
I’ve had that song from Pretty in Pink in my head for literally days. It is embedded and will not go away. It has so little to do with the actual subject of today’s blog that it would be funny if it wasn’t kind of sad. But I thought writing it down might make it [...]
Over the years I’ve noticed a trend in Disney movies. The characters never have a mother. Very often, they also don’t have a father but for the most part the never have mothers. Why do you think that is? I have a lot [...]
In honor of the holiday ( that being St. Patrick’s Day for those buried under a rock, or the parents of toddlers which is the same thing… 
I’ve been thinking about blarney. The gift of gab, the spouting forth of non truths, the telling of stories. Not only do we all do it, its what [...]
Today is going to be the world’s shortest post since I am typing it with my left hand. I’ve hurt myself rather badly and currently don’t have function of my right hand. I really took it for granted. I don’t even know how long until I can type again. Sweaty Sven is going to kick [...]
