Winter break is almost here…

And I’m giving myself one too. Soon my kiddos will be on school break but we don’t have many plans for those two weeks. Family time, holiday movies, rest, and long walks with the pup will likely fill our days. While I will likely pull out my laptop during those two weeks just for funsies, […]

Taking breaks…

Is healthy! It’s time again to leave the laptop at home and take a break from my writing goals. It’s been a busy year of volunteering at youngling’s school, reading/reviewing, editing/writing, and taking care of my home and family. School is out (yes!) and I’m currently enjoying a little time away from the keys and […]
