Well y’all, I am a little late in getting this out, but you are used to that by now! Better late than never, right? I spent last week at an amazing writing retreat in Colorado, and part of that time was spent working on developing a writing schedule. So hopefully, I can be a little more consistent now— but no promises!
Book Stacks are back! Here’s what I read in January…
This past weekend I was invited to celebrate a sweet friend’s milestone birthday at a beautiful airbnb in the mountains of Highlands, North Carolina. It is the perfect time of year for a trip to Highlands, as the brilliant colors of Fall create a tapestry of crimson, gold, and burnt orange around every corner, and the temperature is practically perfect.

I would be spending the weekend with complete strangers…
As I mentioned in my last Book Stack post, I am quite behind on posting what I’ve been reading this year. My books are a little out of order, but I figure disorganized sharing is better than not sharing at all! That said, here is my Summer 2023 Book Stack, which...
Well, friends, now that my “book baby” has been written, edited, published, and launched into the world, it is time to get back into my normal writing rhythm. And with that comes the long-awaited resumption of my book stacks! I just realized I haven’t reviewed or...

Fiction Book Stack Hey friends! If you are just popping in, I am a bit behind on posting my book reviews this year. I usually share what I'm reading each month, but most of my writing time was set aside to work on my book. So while I am in between drafts, I am trying...
I wish I could, but I just can't do it. I can't make the leap. I know it's more practical—it would save money and space and just be easier all the way around. But I can't do it. There is something about holding a book in your hands, feeling the weight of the...
Photo by Johannes Plenio I have a confession. My children are lazy... And they get it from their mom. I was at dinner with a friend the other night, and she asked me how I get my boys to do their chores without nagging them. Y'all, I almost spit out my food!...
I am finally catching up on sharing reviews of the books I've read so far in 2022. For those of you (all 3 of you, lol!) anxiously awaiting these long-awaited reviews, here you go! As I mentioned in my last blog post, I usually share these stacks as I read them,...
I'm sure y'all have been sitting around wondering what in the world happened to my Book Stack posts (because you have nothing better to do, ha!). As you probably know, I am currently working on my own book, so most of my writing time this year was devoted to that. I...
Sarah with two of her Bonus Mamas! In my last blog post, I shared about the power of Bonus Parents in a teen’s life. In this post, I’d like to share 5 tips for being an awesome bonus parent for the teens around you! The great thing about being a Bonus Parent is there...
