On Monday, at the end of story time, I said you need to give yourself permission to be creative/call yourself a writer. Well… I decided some of you might want or need a permission slip. So here you go. Save it to your computer and print it out. Sign it and date it. Tape it […]

Let Me Tell You a Story

Have I ever told you how I started writing? Or anything about my creative journey? No? I want to do that now, then.From the time I was about 7 to 16 (I’m guesstimating), my mom was a babysitter. My job, if you can really call it that, was helping to entertain the kids. That included […]

#PlannerPeaceChallenge Day 2

I suppose a planner doesn’t necessarily have to have a calendar, but it’s certainly helpful. Today’s prompt is to start with your calendar. You don’t have to draw it out yourself unless you want to. Pre-printed calendars are fine. I use one from Handy Forms LLC that I ordered from Amazon. Share a picture of […]
