In just a few short hours, the Big Sur in the Rockies children’s writing conference will kick off. I’m nervous and excited, but I’m also ready. I’m proud of the work I’ve done these past couple of weeks, and I’m ready to expose it to the light of day. I haven’t had any professional feedback [...]

Et tu, Brute?

I had to take Rocky to doggie boot camp today. He’ll be gone for ten days. You see, he doesn’t come when he’s called, and if he gets loose (which happens frequently with a 4 year-old in the house), he bolts and has to be coaxed back into the house with serious goodies. We’re talking [...]

Welcome to the second post in my new Gratitude Sunday series. I found that I really enjoyed mulling over what I wanted to include in this list as the week progressed. Before the list, though, a story. I went to the library one morning this week and stopped at the little coffee shop to get [...]

This is how my day went yesterday: 1. Wake up at 6:30 a.m. Take Rocky out. Wake Em up for school. Swallow frustration as she dawdles through the morning routine. Scream at her to grab her coat and backpack as she races out the door before the bus drives on by. 2. 7:45 a.m. Jay [...]

On the last night of winter break, I told my kids they could fall asleep together. They decided on Jay’s bed. Usually when they do this, I move the transplant back to his or her own bed before turning in myself. This way they don’t wake each other (and me!) up all night. However, when [...]

After my previous bummer-esque post about why I don’t like New Year’s Eve, I figured I’d do a 180 and wish everyone a Happy 2010. It turns out that a change of scenery was just what I needed to wring out the old year. We spent the night in downtown Denver last night. We kicked [...]

The post I wrote a few days ago recounting the Christmas when I got my childhood dog Charley must have done a number on my husband. As of yesterday, we are now the proud owners of a rescue dog named Rocky – a mix of Plott hound and Collie. Despite his towering height, he is [...]
