Mom and Me reads: For Littles
When they’re snuggled in your lap it’s hard to imagine them off saving the world and having their own adventures. Prepare your girl’s heart with a few courage inducing books. My girl and I loved these: Heidi I think the book Heidi gets a bad rap. People see images of Shirley Temple or other actresses who’ve portrayed the compassionate mountain girl and think they know the whole scoop. You don’t! Heidi is brimming with teachable moments, easily absorbed through the story alone. Death, greed, hope, friendship, tough love, stubbornness, selflessness, illness, and even learning struggles pour from the pages in an easy fashion. Not too preachy but filled with Gospel…

Scrap it All (Part1)
Why did I ditch my Work In Progress? I was writing and writing and writing. The words were there but they held little meaning and even less action. My normal writing speed was over 3 months off. I had deadlines looming and dread festering in my stomach. I was stuck. Even though I told myself it would all pan out if I just kept putting down the words. The truth was life had stunned me and stunted my story. The first 50,000 words of my 3rd novel came to me in less than 30 days. Another successful Nano experiment. Fast forward from November to March and I’d only added 11,000…

Meet Our Math Time Buddy
Dyslexia is a giving disability. It gives us trouble in reading, trouble in writing, and trouble in math. This equals hands-on Mom and me school time, all day long. When my student was still little this was a blessing. It was a time to reassure and comfort my struggling learner. The older my student gets the more independence they crave and the more frustrated they become when they NEED mom’s help. Enter Teaching Textbooks After hours of repeated and laborious instruction in reading and writing, the last thing my mother/child relationship needs is another round in math. Teaching Textbooks works fabulously for my struggling learner. I oversee everything, from a…
