Every once in a while I come across an illustration that I just fall in love with. This sweet little piece I found a couple of years ago on Etsy, and I don’t know if it’s the green (my favorite color) or the raindrops (I love rain), or the yellow umbrella, or the cutest little…

FRIDAY FRENZY – Chicken Wants A Nap
Sometimes you just need a nap. I’ve needed one of those for roughly the last seventeen years! Oh, I’ve had something that resembles a nap, you’ll know it as the comfy-on-the-couch, tucked-in-just-so with a blanket…albeit one that smells oddly like dried baby barf, even though there hasn’t technically been a baby in the…

You know what Halloween brings, right? Yesiree, it’s time for another round of SLH’s Annual Halloweensie Contest! No, not SJP, we aren’t sexing anything in the city today!

Picture Book Summit, Baby!
Want to know a little secret? I’ve got goals. Big, lofty goals. And you know what else? Walt Disney once said, “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” So that’s what I did. Two years ago I took a big step in the ‘doing’ part of reaching my writing goals….

FRIDAY FRENZY – Hug Me

FRIDAY FRENZY- My Garden
Ya’ll, I want a flower farm. I’m going to have a flower farm. Big or small, successful or not, I will have a flower farm. Do I know anything about growing flowers? Dirt. Water. Sun. Seed….. What else could I possibly need? You’re rolling your eyes and chuckling at my lack of knowledge aren’t…
FRIDAY FRENZY- Mercy Watson Goes for a Ride
My teenager just got his driver’s permit. Want to know what that looks like? Picture this…an old beat up mini-van complete with smashed in side (thank you drive through car wash), what looks like straight from the hood bullet holes (thank you Maryland road work improvement team), cracked windshield, front license plate dangling from one lone…
FRIDAY FRENZY – The Napping House
I don’t know how it happened but a while back, Fall I think it was, I was in the laundry room digging around for all the dirty soccer gear and I’m pretty sure I was attacked by a mound of nappy socks, the kind of nappy socks that you take one whiff of and the…
