I can totally identify with the photo of the coffee spilling on the keyboard! Anyone else? As my social media feed (particularly on Instagram) becomes overly filtered and posed, I’ve come to appreciate those people who still share “real” life. Not that I don’t love those beautiful posts–but “real life” stuff has it’s own […]
About Annalisa Daughety
Giving Old Books New Life
My three best friends from college and I still “talk” daily. And by talk I mean text. Our group messages might just be the most honest glimpse into real life that you can get without actually being there in person. We celebrate (personal accomplishments, important milestones, things our kids do, etc.). We cry out for […]
Blank Pages Waiting to Be Filled
It’s no secret that 2018 was challenging for me. So I was especially excited to ring in a new year. There’s nothing quite like a fresh start. This year I sat down in my living room super early on New Year’s Day and set goals for various aspects of my life. I dearly love the […]
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 […]
A Reservation for Romance: Behind the Scenes
A Reservation for Romance, the third and final installment of my Homegrown Love Stories series is finally releasing this week, and I’m hopeful you will enjoy Brooke and Grant’s story. I’ve shared before that Brooke Jennings Lockwood is one of my all-time favorite characters, and I really wanted to do her story justice. So […]
The Time of My Life
Happy Fall! My part of the south is finally, finally beginning to see a little bit of a break in temperatures. (although I’m sure many of you would laugh that I think high 80s is a temperature break!) But this coming week looks like we may finally start to see some cool(er) nights and for […]
Being Kind to Myself
I’ve shared here before about some of the things I struggle with—in particular, juggling all of the moving parts of my life and trying to carve out time for my family. I’ve enjoyed the support I’ve received from each of you, and the tips on how to better do that. And something else occurred to […]
Stopping to Smell The Roses
My family has been gone for the past 10 days on a trip that we’ve been planning for nearly a year. During the course of our trip, I had no email access and very limited social media. And I’m not going to lie…not being constantly connected was kind of amazing. I was more or less […]
Writing the “perfect” man
I’m working on my eighteenth book right now and there’s this thing that happens every single time. Every single time, I forget how hard it is. I think once I type “the end” I tend to forget the blood, sweat, and tears that go into each book! But I’m in the spot now that I’ve […]
All You Need Is Love…And?
Even though they were a little before my time, the Beatles are one of my all-time favorite groups. My mom had every single album of theirs and we used to play them when I was young. (side note: I still have a record player and lots of records and really, you can’t beat the sound […]
