Hello, dear readers. I hope you’re well and doing okay through this crazy time! I’m definitely thankful that I get to be with my family while we’re all trying to stay home. It makes it much easier to keep on keeping on having people I love here to talk to. What’s something you’re thankful for during all this craziness? I wanted to share a song I wrote about wrestling with […]
Back in 2015, I had the extraordinary experience of being able to interview S. D. Smith, the author of The Green Ember series. Thinking over how expansive The Green Ember series has grown to be, I decided it was time for an article update!
Hi, All! If you’re looking for a delicious cookie to end the year with, I’ve got a great recipe for you! They’re oatmeal craisin white chocolate chip cookies, and they’re perfect if you’re looking for a little variety from sugar cookies and fruitcake. 😉 (Confession: I may have lost count of the number I’ve eaten. The cookies are gone now.) Oatmeal Craisin White Chocolate Chip Cookies Ingredients: 1 cup butter, […]
Hello, there! I’d love to share a song with you that’s been floating around in my head this week. The melody is gorgeous, even if the song is a touch melancholy. I hope you enjoy! How has your week gone?
Here’s an original poem I wrote while sitting in a coffee shop in Colorado. I hope you enjoy it!

Get it — Hungry Horse?) 😀 It was a wonderful experience. I would love to share a song I wrote with you, called “Through The Door.” It was written in the camper using Micah’s guitar, and […]
Hello, Folks! What’s your favorite thing about this week so far? This week, I’d love to share a quick little poem I wrote called “Judge”, which muses on the tendency we humans have to bear a grudge. I hope you find it thought-provoking and enjoyable!
Hello, and Happy March! How has your day been going? I decided a few days ago to get back into watercoloring, so I picked a favorite photo out of my album and got to work. Dad took the photo in 2014, when we were on one of our camping-in-a-tent family adventures. Anna and I were in need of a restroom, (which is where the name of my painting materialized from) and […]
Howdy, All! How has your week gone? I was challenged to include the word “approacheth” in my writing this month by the Teen Scribbler class at my library. The result was a poem using personification – “Dawn”.
Howdy, there! How has your day been? It’s a balmy 80 degrees here in South Carolina. Since I’m sitting here in shorts on this February day, I thought a post on iced tea would be apropos. I just discovered this delectable drink yesterday, and the great news is (if it’s late in the afternoon), de-caffeinated green tea works just as well!
