Welcome to my helpful lifestyle blog website! 

I’ll share guest posts, family fun, indoor and outdoor ideas, projects for children, and a few ‘memory lane’ articles.

2019

 

                   

I have been writing children and adult stories for several years. A Michigan native and member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and American Christian Fiction Writers, my inspiration is fueled by my grandchildren and offbeat sense of humor. School visits and opportunities to inspire children are high on my agenda. I enjoy spending time with family and friends where story ideas consistently sprout.
