We all have them. Those things we do at holidays, or for birthdays, or for other occasions. Things specific to us and our families or group of friends. I even wrote about one this week in my next release – though it has more to do with royal succession than birthdays or Christmas. Many of […]
It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas…
… with all the Christmas music playing and Christmas decorations displayed in the stores. The reminders to post our overseas Christmas cards and gifts early (oops- I already missed the economy mail deadline for Australia – that’s gonna cost me!). And also, all the Christmas romance boxed sets launching! I love Christmas, though as I’m […]
Writing Retreat
Writing can be a very solitary, lonely pursuit. Even my husband, parents, and son don’t really understand the part of me that’s driven to get the stories out of my head and onto paper. I spent a lot of years going it alone. Eventually I found two local writing groups. Though some of the members […]
On Changing Seasons and Big Life Events
Some life events are just hard to get over. Like, riding in a canoe for the first time with your husband who thinks faster is better and rapids are fun. We are such opposites. And yes, that stinkin’ canoe tipped. I ended up in that cold, Michigan river. For a minute. I say a minute […]
Being Late Led Me To My Future Husband + #giveaway
I can’t believe it, but on this day 22 years ago, I was upstairs in our church loft, wedding gown on, ready to walk down the aisle, watching guests arrive and park across the street as I peeked out the small window. Organized to a fault, I’d padded the schedule to make sure nothing, no-thing, […]
The Music-filled Wedding
Our (very large!) extended family has a bunch of weddings coming up yet this year, and our calendar for fall of 2019 is already filling up. It’s going to be a fun couple of years! I look forward to seeing the beautiful brides and their adoring grooms. I’m eager to see the dresses and tuxes. […]

So here’s the roundup in alphabetical order: Julie Arduini’s blog – Surrender Issues and Chocolate features inspiring messages of surrender, book reviews, faith issues, family, writing, a […]
Cake For Two
Do you ever cook with your husband/significant other? If so, what kind of food do you cook? You probably know from some of my previous blog posts that I’m a foodaholic. I love talking about food and recipes. About two weeks ago, I was so excited about the Royal Wedding. Well, since I’m a romance […]
Royal Romance
I love weddings! And we all know I love a good royal romance! Make it a royal wedding with all the pomp and circumstance? I’m all over that! I was old enough to watch Prince Charles and Diana Spencer’s wedding, but didn’t. I don’t know why. I’m guessing it wasn’t really my mom’s thing, because […]
