All fixed. & Where’s Waldo?
I was having a computer emergency this week! I couldn’t get my WP subscriber function on Sydney’s blog to work. After much updating on my end and head scratching I called my host and turns out my PHP was outdated. It wasn’t my fault at all! YEAH! Now we are all fixed and back in […]

End of summer blues
School starts tomorrow and I can’t tell you enough that this summer has been FAR TOO SHORT! *sigh* I do enjoy having my children home. I listen at church to all the women excited to send their children off to school to get some “peace”. Is it weird that I prefer them home? I send […]

Oh My Edward!
When I arrived at one of my recent Twilight speaking engagements I was thrilled to see the librarian had purchased an Edward standee! My girls (whom I take with me to most of my shows) were excited to get a picture with Edward before the event. And if you live under a rock and haven’t […]
