the secret ingredient to a great blog
I’m often asked how I grew my blog to where it is today and, while I can throw out some tips and ideas and things I *think* contributed to the growth, I haven’t been able to come up with one concise answer. Well, I was inspired last night and now I have that answer. We […]
bloopers
A few days ago, I was asked by my publisher to make a promotional video about my book, so I got all gussied up with my red lipstick again yesterday and put something on film. I thought it would be fun to share some of my “bloopers” with you. I warn you, there is a […]
pictures of me
First of all, thanks so much for all of your wonderful comments yesterday. I knew I wasn’t alone in the constant struggle for contentment. Last week I went to Lucketts to have some pictures taken of myself for the book, my blog and promotional purposes. It’s pretty funny that I didn’t post my picture for the […]

(I’m sorry about the wonky spacing in the post. Something funny happens when I put code from my old blogspot blog […]

It was mostly book-related, but it was so nice to be out and about (and out of sweatpants.) I went to have my picture taken by the very talented Jody McKitrick. We had never […]
Snow & Lucketts
We had a perfect snow fall this afternoon here in Pennsylvania. Mini took my youngest son out to make a snowman he named “Dog.” I guess kind of like the bounty hunter. Although he’s never seen that show. Neither have I. Anyway, I was able to snap a picture of the slightly camera shy Mini… […]
Best of MMS – My Floor Refinishing Story
Thanks so much for all of your support while I’m working on my book. It really, really means a lot. Some of you also had a great idea to share some “best of” posts from the earlier days of my blog. I thought that was brilliant, so I’m going to sharing some blasts from the […]
