Remember my French guy? The one whose story I planned to finish? After that post, I got busy. I found a historical thread to tie into the contemporary story. I polished my 124 pages, worked in the new thread, and expanded the manuscript to 141 pages. It was a great story. I loved the characters, […]
Finding Creativity at Christmas
I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season! We have a new tree this year—since we’re in a new house that has higher ceilings than the last one, I splurged on a gorgeous flocked tree that is taller than our old one, and I love it so much I’m already dreading the day it has […]
Sunday Edition
We’re now officially in the countdown to Christmas! At my house the Christmas tree is up and I’m working on my Christmas to-do list. We’ve been baking gingerbread cookies and we’ll soon start gift wrapping. Have you finished your Christmas shopping, or do you shop last minute? Are you hand making any Christmas gifts this year? […]
Merry Christmas!
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord” (Luke 2:11, KJV). Can you believe it’s December? I don’t know about you, but I heard that some early birds have already put up all their Christmas decorations and then some, turning their homes into winter […]

From Mexico to the USA: A Legacy of Love and Hard Work
Hola! Jolene Navarro, checking in from the Texas Hill Country and today I have a give-a-way so, keep reading. It’s gingerbread and hot chocolate season, so pull up a chair and join me. My mother-in-law was the kind of woman that did more listening than talking. She had a gentle spirit and strong faith. Leaving her […]
I’m Simply Smitten with Travel
It’s difficult to believe that we are already in December. Well lol as I’m writing this is still November and we haven’t even had Thanksgiving yet. I needed to get my post ready extra early because I will be traveling and not home when my post is due. When do you travel the most? Our […]
Behind the Scenes at The Christmas Mansion +#giveaways
Hopefully by now you’ve grabbed your copy of the boxed set, A Christmas to Remember, and are completely in the holiday spirit thanks to the novellas. I thought I’d share a bit more about my story, Restoring Christmas, and the place that brings Holly Christmas back to Geneseo Valley: The Christmas Mansion. I tossed the […]
The TRUE Meaning of Christmas
Confession: Until this year, I’ve never watched Hallmark Christmas movies at Christmas time. Not for lack of desire–we’re just cheap and don’t have cable. (A little antenna outside gets us a few local channels, but that’s it.) But this year, I decided to splurge. We have a new “smart” TV that has SLING on it, […]
