I was Little Miss Overachiever in school, so much so that when I got a B+ in gym class because I couldn’t do an arabesque on the balance beam (seriously, marked down b/c of my agility? That still bugs me!) I didn’t actually lie to my dad, but I wasn’t entirely honest in my relaying […]

Whining about my sordid past…
I’m blogging about my sordid past over at the Whine Sisters today! I’ve been doing a lot of rearranging in my garage these days, and in the process, I came across the picture to the left. That’s me back during my freshman year in college. Lest you jump to the same conclusion as my poor, […]
Legal Tips for Writers
I’m sick, my kid is sick, my other kid is getting sick…. And so I thought what better time to recycle an old article? Especially since I’m going to start posting periodic Writer Wednesday blogs with random writing tips (not to be confused with my eldest daughter’s recent cry of “Random People Being Beat Up […]

Mardi Gras Memories!
Check out my Mardi Gras memories over at The Whine Sisters!

Grandmas, astronauts, and one heck of a tall tale
I’ve been having fun with the stories about my Grandma Ebby, and recently I shared a fun one involving NASA and diapers (no, really) over at S.M. Nonnemacher’s blog. (I swore I already posted a link from here, but clearly I’m getting senile at all of 27. Twenty-seven, yes, really. It’s all about embellishing stories […]

The Grass is Greener in Grandma's Kitchen: Guest Blog today With Marianne Hansen Rencher!
I’m so excited to have a guest blogger today–the super fun Marianne Hansen Rencher. Not only that, but how cool she’s hitting on the topics of both cooking and mom’s — both of which I’ve touched on recently. Serendipity, right? Marianne’s a redhead – jealous! – who lives in Montana – not jealous of the […]

I make sh*t up…I must be human!
I’m taking an online class (April Kilhstrom’s Book-in-a-Week, which is amazing by the way), and she addresses both fiction and nonfiction books. As I was reading through some of the lessons yesterday, something about those words got stuck in my craw. Now, I’m not a linguist by any stretch of the imagination (and I’m far […]

Wandering blind in Stockholm (or, My Adventures with Grandma)
Let’s start with the basics: My grandmother was pretty dang cool. A woman who divorced back when my dad was a little kid and set out as a single mom back when you didn’t run across too many single moms. She was a strong woman, and I’m sure that I probably inherited much of my […]

Carpe Demon a-go-go! Kate's coming back!
I’ll admit it, I was totally bummed when Berkley decided to drop my demon hunting soccer mom series after book 5 despite decent sales and the fact that I know folks (me included!) want to keep following Kate’s adventures. (Thanks so much to everyone who sends me email about Kate and company!). That was the […]
