Those of you who know me, know that I’m not crafty. Honestly, doing crafts induces rather reduces stress, so I actively avoid crafting. Yet, every once in a while I get the itch to try something, and I’m thrilled when it turns out. Now to be completely honest, I have attempted this craft before (go >here<), but I’ve modified this …
My First Book Trailer!
It’s nice and short–only 30 seconds. Enjoy! (And I’d love it if you’d share) CHAIN OF MERCY by Brenda S. Anderson AMAZON | BARNES & NOBLE | BOOKS A MILLION
Grad Party #3!
One would think that after planning three high school graduation parties within four years, I’d pretty much be an expert. Know what? I think I am. I have it down to a science–too bad (well, not really) this is our last graduate. The best advice I have is to Keep It Simple, Sweetheart. I’ve already purchased the basics: tableware, napkins, …
Book Launch Celebration!
Yes, I’ve celebrated online, but this time I’m hosting an actual party, not a virtual one, and you’re all invited! If you’re near the Twin Cities tonight, I’d love it if you’d drop in.

One More Day… To the official release of Chain of Mercy! I’m having a party tomorrow, and you’re all invited! Well, actually the party is going to last through Friday. I promise to supply music, food (chocolate!), and good books! And what’s a party without a giveaway?! A drawing with music, food (chocolate), and good books! See the theme going …
Have a Blessed New Year!
How are you spending the final minutes of 2013? With friends? Family? By yourself? Our celebration may look humdrum to others, but it’s a day our family anticipates each year. It’s a day we spend together–bowling and watching movies. As our children get older (21, 19, & 17), I realize that these times are to be cherished–it won’t be long …
The Wizard of Oz at the Ordway – Fantastic Family Fun!
Growing up, watching The Wizard of Oz when it came on TV was an annual family event. We’d never miss it! We’d sit in front of our black ‘n white TV set and be entranced for two and a half hours. (I didn’t know, till I was an older teen, that Oz was filmed in color!) Entranced is exactly how …
THORific Thursday
Okay, you’ll have to pardon the cheesy title, but you see, I have a very good excuse: on the same evening that our Minnesota Vikings managed to eke out only their second win of the season, I–along with my family plus four college students–watched the Norse demi-god lead Asgard to victory. To be more specific, we went to the 11:00 …
Stranded on a Deserted Island
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three books would you want to have with you? The Bible (that goes without saying) Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte A Voice in the Wind by Francine Rivers What three movies would you want to have? (Imagine, being stranded on an island and having a TV & DVD player!) The Avengers …
Minnesota Bucket List
I must admit, I love my state. I love all the seasons, including winter. I love nature’s landscape, the rich theater scene, the wealth of music–I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Our family manages to cross a few items off of our Minnesota Bucket List every year. Over the last decade we’ve visited the Sculpture Garden, Mill City Museum, the Stone …
