I started the second chapter of my book the other day and it’s a doozy! In this chapter I give a brief history of just how I came to marry Ed and end up in the hospital while pregnant with Darren. It’s impossible to talk about, even briefly, the events leading up to that point […]

A repost of sorts
March 20th, 2010 · 3 Comments · Book Writing, Ed's Health
I started this blog in 2006 thinking it would be a nice way to journal about my experiences here on the farm because I’ve never lived in the country and after we moved here I immediately became the laughing stock of my county. I will never forget the look on our farmer’s face when I asked him […]

My first order of business is to perform a few quick searches for tips on writing a book. Oh my! It’s not like I woke up one day and thought, “I think I’ll become a writer.” No, not at all. Most of the sites that come up on these searches detail how to begin your […]

It’s what I’m supposed to do
February 26th, 2010 · No Comments · Book Writing
My poor family has been questioning my very existence after not posting in so long. Isn’t it odd how we evolve? Our projects and needs just evolve and things shift in and out of our reality, our blood. I so needed to blog, to journal, to have an outlet when this started. Moving to the […]
