Since moving to Washington and even a little before then, I had been homeschooling my 5 yo daughter. In lieu of the recent COVID-19 outbreak, our schools are closed for the next six weeks, which means my 8 yo son will be home with me as well. I have created a homeschool itinerary that has […]
We’re authors! I say we because it takes the collaborative effort of my husband and I to produce these books. I’ve spent countless evenings and early morning clacking away on my laptop keys, sometimes awaking my hubby. For the most part, I’m the writer and hubby is the publisher, handling all background and technical work. […]
I was thinking of The Watson’s Move to Birmingham by Christopher Paul Curtis when I wrote the title for this post. It’s been my hashtag since I announced that we were packing up our things to leave Las Vegas. It’s been a month since we’ve called Washington State our home. We moved in on Christmas […]

One year ago today, I took two flights home to find that I was just 45 minutes shy of saying goodbye to my mother as she left this earth. A wise friend once told me not to count the weeks and months that go by; it wouldn’t be a fair way to let myself heal […]
Everybody’s heard of Taco Tuesday. So how about Waffle Wednesday? Waffles on Wednesday started when I realized we only have full size breakfasts on Saturday.
