I think we can all agree that this year has been more than difficult for everyone. We’ve had to deal with the quarantine, adjust to educating our kids at home, and generally struggled to keep things normal when life is anything but. I’ve read about some authors who have been able to take advantage of […]
Already Married + Free Book by Melanie D. Snitker
Hello, everyone! I’m so excited to return to Inspy Romance, and I’m looking forward to blogging monthly again. I’ve missed being able to chat with you all! To those of you who don’t know me, my name is Melanie D. Snitker. My husband and I live in the beautiful Texas Hill Country with our two […]
The Books that Inspire and #Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
My eight-year-old daughter loves to read, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. The fact that she’ll read a wide variety of books–from science fiction to classics–is even better. She also enjoys it when my husband and I read to her. Currently, she and I are reading the second Harry Potter book together, while she and […]
Treasuring the Bright Spots in Life + Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
I’m not going to lie: Life has been pretty challenging for a while. Our sweet son is thirteen and has severe autism and epilepsy. We’ve been dealing with a lot of behavior and health issues. These last two weeks have been frustrating and heart-breaking. But the weekend before last, he had a good day, and […]
Photography: A Source of Peace and Inspiration + Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
I’ve always enjoyed taking pictures, even before digital cameras were popular, but I never considered learning about photography until after our son was born. At that time, my dedication to reading and practicing in order to take a better photograph was born out of necessity. Just like other new parents, my husband and I took […]
Surrounded + A Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
My family and I went through a particularly rough time with our son last month. I can honestly say it was one of the hardest things I’ve experienced as a parent, and it tested my faith in so many ways. But God brought all of us through, and He used it as a catalyst for […]
A Series Makeover (and Giveaway) by Melanie D. Snitker
When I published Finding Peace, the first book in my Love’s Compass series, in January of 2015, I had no idea where this series would take me. Over the following three years, I would write a total of six books that had my readers laughing, crying, and falling in love with these amazing families. As […]
Staying Organized and a #Giveaway by Melanie D. Snitker
I don’t know about you all, but I struggle to stay organized on a daily basis. I wear a lot of hats, and what works while I’m in homeschooling mom mode doesn’t necessarily work when I’m keeping track of numerous appointments. And all of that is completely different from staying focused on what I’m writing. […]
Memories of Snow + #Giveaway
Now that my family and I live in the Texas Hill Country, I’ve been told that seeing snow here is a rare occurrence. I have, however, enjoyed seeing snow pictures that friends on Facebook have been posting. I admit to not being a huge fan of cold weather, but I do miss the photographic opportunities. […]
As One Year Closes… by Melanie D. Snitker
It’s hard to believe that Christmas is now behind us, and that 2019 begins in less than a week. Personally, this year is ending on a lovely note. I got to participate in two wonderful family Christmas celebrations, was reminded multiple times of what this season is really about, and now I’m looking forward to […]
