Do you ever have one of those moments when you wonder if you’re starting to lose your mind? I’m only half kidding. Over the summer, I did a podcast interview with Janetta Messmer, and we discussed having her back on in November. For some reason, I never actually published that initial conversation on my podcast. I can’t even tell you …
Just one more day before the release of Tangles and Tinsel. Be sure to enter below for a chance to win the $50 Amazon Gift Card! Decorating for Christmas is a bittersweet experience for me. I love traditions, but when loved ones pass away, family dynamics shift in a way that are often the death of those traditions, too. I …
What is Christmas without the treats that bring back childhood memories of holiday celebrations? Writing this post was a true act of love. Delving into a multitude of cookie and candy recipes almost put me into a sugar coma without tasting a bite! Before I jump into the recipes, I want to remind you to be sure and enter for …
I recently went on a hunt for a small Christmas wreath and was shocked at how expensive they were. It’s just a bunch of “plastic” greenery, a sprig here and there of fake pine, and a few red berries. Again, like with the pallet trees I posted on Tuesday, I figured the release of my upcoming Christmas novella, Tangles and …

If you read yesterday’s countdown post (and watched the video) you know I’m a Hobby Lobby fan. Whenever I walk into one, even when it’s packed with crazy …
This project was a joy to work on for a couple reasons—I was making it for a good friend, and the idea was one I conceived on my own. I’m usually not that creative, although if someone shows me a project, I can usually recreate it. I’ve been meaning to do another Merry Christmas for myself, but I never seem …
This is the seven-day countdown for the release of my Bedford County Christmas novella Tangles and Tinsel. Each day, I will be sharing a DIY Christmas project or décor. At the end of each post, there is a link to sign up for a chance to win a $50 Amazon Gift Card. If you sign up every day, you get …
Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides You, who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him—Isaiah 64:4 Waiting. It’s never been an admirable trait of mine. My mom used to tell me my lack of patience started in the womb—I was two weeks early. It couldn’t possibly …
I was thrilled to read A Deeper Love by Heidi Gray McGill for two reasons. First off, I just love her—not only her writing, but her! What a joy it is to be on this writing journey with such a giving and gifted author. Secondly, this story is her first of three novellas for the Suamalie Islands Series. And since …
