So Thursday I was having a terrible horrible no good very bad day (Alexander is awesome). Later that night though I came across two things on my facebook that totally cheered me up and gave me great laughs! 😀 The first thing that totally made my day was when Serendipity Literary Agency shared this photo on their Facebook page: So … Read More
The Unfathomable Awesomeness of Star Wars
So I had to have been about 11 years old when it happened. When I first heard those two awesome words, “Star Wars”. A friend of my father’s happened to mention it while my sisters and I were around. We asked my Dad what Star Wars was and his friend couldn’t believe we’d never seen the movies. So my Dad … Read More
Driving a Bus
I apologize for the extra long hiatus but I’m back now! 😀 I’ll be posting at least every Tuesday, maybe a little bit more. I’m now officially driving a school bus, hence the extra long hiatus as I got used to my new routine and everything else I had to manage. My husband started post-secondary the same day I picked … Read More
Short Hiatus
So I started training as a school bus driver today which was pretty interesting. But as training will be about 9 hours each day Mon through Friday for the next two weeks at least, I’m going to take a short hiatus from my blogs. I’ll be back up again on Aug 27th the new deadline for sending out queries. Hopefully in the … Read More
Lovely Lovable Libraries
Libraries are one of those wonderful places that I have amazing memories of, both from my childhood and as an adult. Summer reading programs and finding a new book you’ve never read before. Getting a new library card to put in your tiny purse at the age of ten. I hope we all have memories like that. There’s a lot … Read More

Why I’m an Expert at Getting Bad Smells Out of Carpet
Sorry for the slight break in posts. It’s been one of those weeks. *** Warning Mommy Graphicness in this Post *** So I had thought my son was beginning to outgrow his acid reflux. He’d gone from medication morning and night to just at night, and recently his nightly dose was decreased by half. Then Sunday happened. For those of … Read More
Writing Contest, Mermaid Books, and Spray Parks….. This is my life.
Isn’t it amazing how many different things go on in your life? Or the many different ‘hats’ you wear? Today I found out about a contest where you submit your first 500 words from your manuscript and you can possibly win 1000$ and a chance for representation from Catherine Drayton. Needless to say I’m pretty stoked about it! If any of … Read More
Why Hermione is Amazing!
Just having gone to see HP7 part 2 at midnight last night my brain’s on a bit of a Harry Potter kick. Love, love, loved the movie by the way. Everyone should see it! – Mischief Managed- 😀 But today I happened upon a really great article about the huge benefits of having a character like Hermione Granger out there … Read More
When good writing gets in the way of your writing…
Gah. Gah. Gah. Gah. So I had an enlightening conversation with my mother the other day. She said that if she had a really busy week she’d have to make a point of not visiting the library so that she could actually get stuff done. I think for me personally I’m going to have to go one step farther and … Read More
