Recently, I’ve started receiving a number of email inquiries about advertising in my newsletter or through an email blast that have been willing to pay very well.

Have you ever tried to explain blogging to non-bloggers? The conversation usually starts like this: Non-Blogger: “So you stay home with the kids all day, do you work part-time or anything?” Me: “Yes, I write a blog.” Non-Blogger: “A blog. Oh. I just don’t get them. What is it exactly? Me: “It’s similar to a [...]

I loved being an English major in college until a jaded professor made some nasty comments that stuck with me and damaged my confidence enough that I stopped writing for many years. After having kids and becoming a stay-at-home mom, I picked up writing again. [...]
The Disney Store at our local mall held a Princess Class last Saturday. Kora is in love with the Disney Princesses. I’m not fond of the princesses, let alone anything pink, but it all makes Kora happy so I can grit my teeth and smile and be happy for her at events like this. First, all [...]
