I haven’t been blogging a lot lately. I’m sure you’ve noticed. But things here at home have consumed me. Being a mom has meant I’ve had to focus my energy on the kids and the writing has been pushed to the side for the time being. It’s okay. That’s how it goes. I don’t know […]

Attitude of Gratitude
It’s been a tough couple weeks and this week was maybe the hardest yet. Stuff with kids, especially one boy, has really worn me down and I’m just tired. But honestly, things aren’t bad. Things are just a little more effort. A little more work. A little more patience. A little more strength. So I’m […]
Smart Puppy
It’s November 7th and I’m still trying to get settled back into a productive routine and it hasn’t happened yet but I’m not giving up. I vowed last Friday that starting Monday morning, every morning M-F I will get into my garage and do twenty minutes cardio. Every morning, 20 mins minimum. If I want […]
Home for Halloween!
Returned home yesterday evening and have just slept for 10 hours and am feeling human again. Its great to be back. We had a fantastic trip but started missing the kids terribly about five days ago. Ten days is a long time to be away from them, especially the two younger ones. Ten days just […]
Homestretch
Book is due Friday. A week from tomorrow Ty and I go on our honeymoon. Kids have wildly different needs but I am all tunnel vision now. It’s writing from 8 am until 8 pm or later. No TV, no hanging out, no chatting, chilling or anything but getting words on page and tackling the […]
Mamacation 2011
Can’t believe my book is due a week from today. And I still have 200+ pages to go. This is going to be a week of extreme writing! I might even half to check into a hotel for 48 hours to write round the clock…haven’t done that since I was newly divorced and trying to […]
Work, Work, Work
I’ve had my head down the past few weeks, writing feverishly and sitting long hours at my computer, to meet my October 15th deadline. Meg’s story, the first in the Brennan trilogy, is really shaping up and I’m so excited about the next two stories in this trilogy, too. Meg’s book will be out next […]
Smile
Last week my great friend Liza Palmer shared this Operation Smile Video with me, and I shared it with my guys and it literally turned my day around. I’d been having a hard day and the video gave me perspective and helped me remember what’s important in life…and why I love Operation Smile. I’m having […]
How Does She Do It?
People always tell me that I’m amazing…that I juggle so many balls and get so much done…two houses, busy travel and speaking schedule, two publishers, multiple book contracts, three kids, and now a wedding in just a couple weeks. So how do I do it? I get help. Lots of help. I have childcare, and […]
Books, Kids & Vegas Weddings
The little Vegas wedding on September 17th has gotten pretty big and we’ve just switched to a bigger chapel to accomodate everyone! Ty has 25 family members coming. I have another 21. And then there are the friends, and the friends with kids and so it looks like we’re going to have roughly 70 there […]
