Guess who went on a date for the first time in 18 months? We clean up pretty nice even if I do say so myself. ❤️

📸: our youngest daughter who also picked both our outfits. 😁

🎉 1,000 REVIEWS! 🎉

When I was writing CAN'T TAKE IT BACK, my greatest hope was that I would get to share my words with the world and have at least a few people outside my friends and family, get lost in the story and my characters.

Seeing that happen over the past year has been a trip and hitting the 1,000 review milestone on Audible is just another candle on an already brightly burning cake of joy.

(It also feels amazing that more than half of these reviews are 5 ⭐! )

Thank you to everyone who has listened to CAN’T TAKE IT BACK and taken the time to share their thoughts with others. This debut author appreciates you very much. ❤️

From the moment I read the synopsis of THE REHEARSALS by fellow Canadian author @msannettemc, I've been counting down the days until I could get my hands on a copy. Today is finally the day and I can't wait to dive in. 👏

I have this framed in my office in a place where I can’t miss seeing it when I look up from my computer. A daily reminder that so much is out of my control and I can’t let the fears and frustrations take over.

Let’s just say I take a LOT of deep breaths and leave it at that. 😂

Taking a sunset walk with my girls does my heart good. 🌅 ❤️

It’s cloudy and a little cooler than it has been recently which makes it perfect bust-out-the-cozy-blanket-and-read weather.

Ah…who am I kidding? I bust out this blanket and read every Saturday morning. The clouds just make me feel less weird about doing it. 😂

Found this rock on my morning walk and took a moment to follow the instructions.

Thank you random stranger for the reminder to appreciate my surroundings.

My kids are now at the age where the new skills we teach them can immediately be put to work. 😁👍

Having their help made painting my oldest’s room go much faster and that means more reading time for me.

For the past few weeks I’ve been sharing some random/fun facts about myself and since I haven’t run out of them yet, I’m going to keep running with it.

🎓 I went to Journalism school with the goal of becoming a sports broadcaster. Upon graduation I realized I would have to move too far away from home to make that happen, so I went into marketing instead.

📸 I have a photographic memory. If I need to remember a phone number I write it down and it is indelibly printed on my brain. However I am terrible at remembering people’s names. Please don’t take it personally.

🎭 I auditioned for the part of Lucy in our Grade 4 play “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown.” I didn’t get the part and I’m still not quite over it. I WAS Lucy.

🍟 My first non-babysitting job was at the food court A&W when I was 13. I loved so much about it, especially making onion rings from scratch, but I did NOT love the uniform. So itchy!

This last one isn’t so much a fun fact but more something I’m so incredibly grateful for:

💕 I have an amazing network of friends. They are always there for whatever I need. Whether it’s a shot of grape vodka, a laugh over a cup of coffee or a shoulder to cry on.

That concludes the latest (last?) edition of things you didn’t need to know about me but now you do. You’re welcome! 😆

Happy Release Day to @lynliaobutler and her fabulous debut!

My copy just arrived and I’m pushing it to the top of my pile so I can start reading right away.

I've been trying to cut back on my coffee consumption lately but it's Monday so I'm following this handy-dandy flow chart today instead.

Feel free to do the same. ☕☕☕☕☕☕☕

Feeling pretty blah after shot 2 and plan on spending the day relaxing in my back yard reading the latest by @rhardingwriter

Harding is a must read author for me and I can’t wait to dive into THE PERFECT FAMILY. 👀🏡
