Has anyone ever heard of frogs (fried bread dough)? Not Native American fry bread which I think uses baking powder, but fried yeast bread. My mom taught me to make these in an iron skillet. I've only heard one or two others call them frogs. Wondering why we call them this.

Hiking date on that nice day last week!

It's been over 15 years of rejection, so I've finally decided I won't be submitting any more. The last ember of hope I was holding onto for so long is officially dead.

Homemade soup and brown bread!

Made carrot cake for hubby's birthday! #kidlitbaking #kidlitbakers

Hiking Date Sightings!

The friends of the #wornstaffpubliclibrary hosted my author visit. They and the staff are the absolute best! Their board recommended an almost lifesize cut out (crazy funny). One member made me a custom bookworm bag (priceless). And the kids all participated during the event! #kidlit #blessed

Sighted while on vacation!

Wildflowers of spring!

Happy Easter! jlcards.com/xS2oI6

I'm super excited to have just finished my February #12x12pb first draft! #kidlit Pitch: Shy and quiet Nugget never does anything egg-strordinary until he starts playing guitar. But when he plays, he finds both the joy and confidence to come out of his shell.

Jusdt sent in my #pbparty entry. Best Wishes to everyone entering! #kidlit

I wish smell-o-vision was a thing. This past week my house smelled wonderful when I made apple butter and then pumpkin roll 💕

Friday Date!

When local school children find escaped zoo animals on the playground, the entire class embraces the unexpected, problem solves, encourages, and has the best recess ever _ all without adult supervision! #humor #SkyPitch

#LetterStyle #humor #SkyPitch Barry the Beaver is wet _ again! So he sets off to find adventure in the sun with his South American cousin, Cappy. But will an accidental flying squirrel attack and an amorous skunk cause him to go back to the rain, or will he keep going?

Mr. Floof loves to play board games, but when he steals game pieces and hisses at his owner, she makes every effort to get them back. When treats and distractions fail to fool this feisty feline, there is only one thing left to do; beat Mr. Floof at a new game, Cat-Trap! #SkyPitch #Humor

I forgot to post these book event pictures in August 💕 The Ritter Library in Vermilion, Ohio is gorgeous and they were the best hosts!

21st Anniversary Date!

More Vaca Pics!

Just got back from a much needed vaca with the family!

Check out my review of the all around lovely book "The Little Red Chair" 📚 👍 www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Things seen on our Friday hike!

Saw this web glinting in the sun, and it was so rainbowy. Unfortunately, it doesn't look as rainbowy in the photo as it did in person, but it's still pretty!
