Today’s Monday Muse is a bit different – not because she doesn’t do all the things the rest of us Mama artists struggle to do each day (laundry, parenting, dishes, laundry, creative time!, vacuuming…) but because she’s managed to become insanely successful at her craft and beat the odds in so many ways. She taught…
A few weeks ago I was at a book club meeting and somehow the term “butt rock” came up…that is to say, at some point I referred to a band as possible butt rock and received blank stares in return. It seems none of my lady book club friends have heard this term. Butt Rock…
Thanks to a tip over at the SB’s, I learned of the offer from Mills&Boon (the equivalent to HQ across the pond). You can download a selected book from several of their series; a total 10 free books! I like using the e-pub file for downloads, load it up to Adobe Digital Reader, then copy…
Thanks to a link I found over at fellow test driver’s site CheekyReads, I found out Book Binge is giving a way a bundle of books every weekday in September. To enter, just leave a comment on each day’s prize post.
I spend a bit too much time on the interwebs, I’ll admit – but in my defense, I hardly ever watch t.v. Like ever. The husband and I try to catch The Soup together on Friday nights, and that pretty much covers my viewing time for the week. Last night the Soup had a clip…
This is it. Tomorrow morning we kick off first grade homeschool. I’ve been homeschooling Miss A since she was 2, but somehow Pre-k, and even Kindergarten, didn’t give me cause for much stress. I had a schedule and lesson plans, but it was for the most part, relaxed and intuitive. But first grade is fur…
If you have ever stopped by here for a visit before, you may have noticed I had a helluva lotta links to books…books I was currently reading, books I had read recently, books I planned to read soon – even books I had started to read and put down somewhere and never finished. I love…
…To receive an award? It’s always nice to win an award, and even nicer when it’s unexpected. Like this morning, when I discovered one of my Monday Muses, artist Jennifer DesAutels, had decided to bestow upon me (and some other wonderful women) the Bella Sinclair Art Inspiration award. Originally created by Ces (another MM!) for…
I was in the mood for a laugh, so I decided to pay a quick visit to icanhascheezburger. However, nothing on their cover page was really getting the giggles going, so I did some clicking around, and found a link on their site to “look-alikes” basically side by side pictures of any two items that…
Like getting to post a review on the Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Books website. I can’t imagine how tickled I’ll be if a novel (I eventually manage to finish and submit to a pub) gets published. My skirt will flip so high you’ll see London, France, and a remote town somewhere in Alaska. So,…
