Library Day – How to Get Your Kid’s Nose Stuck Inside a Book
It’s library day again! For the last several weeks, I’ve been running book and reading-related posts on the blog on Tuesdays. So far you’ve seen some book reviews, author interviews, my personal musings, and more. This week I’m bringing you a guest post from a blogger friend many of you already know, Val Newman of My Virtual Vineyard. …

TToT – Birthdays and Life
Some days make you stop and think about life more than others. Today is one of those days. Our Daughter is seven years old today and I have spent a great deal of time this week, and especially today, thinking about how we came to be in this moment… I’m going to try to do…

This Summer…
This summer is going to be different… This summer I will spend some time on a bit of the usual. I will clean out closets, scrub under the stove burners and above the kitchen cabinets, and think about having a garage sale. But this summer will also be different… I will do those usual things,…

A few weeks ago, I attended the most wonderful event. My Daughter’s class invited their moms to a Mother’s Day Tea. The handmade invitations indicated a special event was at hand. I’ll admit I was skeptical. A tea for mothers? In the first-grade classroom? With all those tiny little chairs that no self-respecting adult should…

FTSF – We Need More
I’m struggling this week. I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I’ve had just about enough. Why? People are mean. People are inconsiderate. People are rude. It’s true. You know it’s true. And at risk of this appearing to be a rant (it’s not), I just really needed to say that tonight. All week I’ve tried to write this…

The Importance of Talking about Reading
OK, so it’s Tuesday. Lately, I’ve been running something book-related for you on Tuesdays. It’s kind of like library day. Maybe we have a guest post from an author, maybe a Q&A session, maybe a book review… But today I’m afraid I have nothing new to report. I’m still reading several books (yes, I do that)…

FTSF – After a Hard Day’s Work
After a hard day’s work, there is more. Years of days have been spent at work… challenging, demanding, rewarding, exhausting, physical and emotional. After a hard day’s work, there is more. Years of after works are spent at another job more education, seminars, workshops, meetings, workouts, the things required to sustain or progress. After a…
