Sunday Update: LOTS Going On!

Hello again. I can’t believe it’s another Sunday. No idea how long I have to type before the kids bust in on me, so I’ll get right to it. I feel like I’m split between a bunch of fronts right now. It doesn’t help that work is absorbing a lot of my energy, too. We’re […]

Mid-Week Update: Finally Checking In!

I know. I pretty much disappeared for the last three weeks. I’ve made occasional posts, but given no updates on writing progress. That’s because there hasn’t been much progress. I haven’t done a thorough review of the last two years, but this should go down as one of the longer stretches without writing progress since […]

Dirt Poor Troubadour: A Multimedia Concept Album

I want to introduce a band I’ve known for…ever. 🙂 Seriously, I met most of these guys in Corvallis about ten years ago, where hubby was very much into the local music scene. The Flailing Inhalers has always been a fun band, full of incredibly talented and creative musicians. They’re also smart, and playful, and […]

We’re posting the second Wednesday of every […]

Healthy Banana Pancakes!

I just made a batch for my girls and my nieces. My nieces are allergic to dairy, so I always have a plan for what I’m cooking when they’re coming over on Thursday afternoons. Also, I’m trying to stick to whole grains and use almond milk in place of dairy in more recipes for my […]

Round of Words Goals Post: Spring 2013

I can’t believe the time has come to write another goals post for A Round of Words in 80 Days, the writing challenge that knows you have a life. I’m even a day late. 🙂 I’m thinking no one will mind if I post this to the update linky. If you’re truly looking for an […]

My 120-Calorie 5-Ingredient Salad

J.R.’s Spring Saladspring greens salad mix (2 cups- 20 cal.)mandarine oranges (1/4 cup, about 6 slices, and a bit of the juice for “dressing”- 50 cal.)sliced almonds […]

Sunday Update: Baby Steps

That seems an appropriate summation of what I’ve accomplished writing-wise this week. I only wrote on two days, getting in 700 words on the fairytale I’m writing on Tuesday, and then 600 on the second Foulweather Twins novel on Thursday. So that’s not much writing. But it comes after two weeks of exceeding my goals. […]
