Artwork…we haz it. Everywhere. Now that Tot is in preschool (the real deal, not “pre-preschool”) she comes home with a masterpiece almost every time. And boy is she proud to show it off. And who could blame her? What child wouldn’t be proud to show off a pumpkin such as this? Okay to be fair, [...]

The meat and potatoes of the project! Two days ago, I purchased my supplies, which was an adventure in and of itself. Yesterday I did a lot of the dirty work…or so I thought. Yesterday was a BREEZE compared to today. But that’s okay. Today I painted the area. That’s pretty obvious, so I won’t [...]

If you’ve followed me on Facebook or Twitter, you know that we recently moved. Again. For the millionth time. Hazard of the job. But this time, instead of renting, we bought a house.

Hey everyone! It’s time for another Military Moment, this time brought to you by a super-cute couple named Mary and Larry. Larry’s been in the Army for twenty-four years now, so he’s been around the block a time or two. And these two have been married for fourteen years, so we’ve got some experience on [...]

You read that right. Cake balls. It probably brings to mind that one SNL skit from forever ago with Alec Baldwin. But not quite the same. But Cake Pops are sweeping the nation (did you know you could order a cake pop at Starbucks??) I decided to try my hand at these delicious new treats. [...]

  Honor Bound, the first book in the Semper Fi series, is undergoing some changes. After some discussion, it was decided that the book title could use a little tweak. And so the team at Sourcebooks and I brainstormed, and eventually the end result was The Officer Says I Do. I think, from the back [...]
