July has been an eventful month so far. We’ve had multiple doctor’s appointments for our son who will be having his tonsils and adenoids removed on Friday. Getting ready for a surgery like this isn’t easy. Between the additional challenges that autism presents and his fear of doctors in general, it’s going to be a […]
18 Years and 8 Reminders by Melanie D. Snitker
My husband and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary this month. I thought I might share the unusual way in which we met, and then decided to do so using eight things that remind me of the journey that brought us together. Howdy – Doug and I first met online in October of 1997. At […]
Switching Gears and #Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
I’d originally planned to release a new book in May. After delaying it a month, I was still struggling to write it. There was something about the story that didn’t quite feel right. The last – and thankfully only other – time that happened, I ended up having to take what I’ve written and throw […]
Sunday Edition 04/29/18
Happy Sunday, everyone! Can you believe tomorrow is the last day of April? I’ve truly enjoyed hosting the Sunday Editions this month. Thank you all for journeying with me as my family and I moved to the beautiful Texas Hill Country. After practically camping in our new house for nine days, a wonderful group of […]
Sunday Edition 04-22-18
My family has officially moved to the Texas Hill Country. Granted, two-thirds of our belongings are still waiting in our previous house for the movers to load it up and bring it next weekend, but at least we’re here! We did bring two trailers worth of stuff ourselves, and we have nearly all of that […]
Sunday Edition 04/15/18
If you saw my blog post the other day, you read that my family and I are moving to south Texas by the end of the month. The last time we moved was three years ago, but apparently I’d forgotten how much work goes into the whole ordeal. On Friday, we rented a small U-Haul […]
Spring: New Life and New Changes
Spring is my favorite season. Not only does it bring warmer weather, but it means the appearance of bluebonnets, one of my favorite flowers. Every time I see a patch of them on the side of the road, it brings a smile to my face. Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of them in the […]
Sunday Edition 04/08/18
I hope you are all having a good weekend so far. It seems like weather has been extreme in a lot of places. For us, we enjoyed highs in the 80s on Friday, then a high of 35’F on Saturday. Then today, we’re supposed to have a high of 78’F. If allergies weren’t enough to […]
Sunday Edition 04/01/18
Happy Easter! This is my first Sunday with you all, and I’m excited to be here. I saw these Easter lilies at the store the other day and had to get a picture. I’m not sure I’ve ever bought an Easter lily myself, but when I see them, I think of spending Easter at my […]
Cover Reveal and Giveaway
I don’t know about you all, but there’s just something about a shiny new book cover that makes me smile. I especially love how the cover for Marrying Raven, the second book in the Brides of Clearwater series, came out. This cover was fun because I worked with a friend of mine, who is a […]
