GRAVY
- My first novel started with a mole. Yes, a MOLE - a freckle, a birthmark, whatever you want to call it.
- I was at the pool with my daughter getting ignored by our swim instructor when a lifeguard with a particularly ripped abdomen walked by. He stopped to flirt with one of the female lifeguards and my eyes flew directly to an adorable mole on the top can of his six-pack.
- "How cute!" I thought (among other things). "He looks like a character in a romance novel!"
- So I went home and started writing fiction for the first time. That was over a year ago and I still haven't been able to stop. GRAVY is the story of a suburban housewife who wants another baby, but gets a man with a mole instead.
- GRAVY is now available on Kindle and Nook!

This made me laugh outloud!
I've got twin boys (7 months old)and I forget what day I bathed them.... Now I know I can use the "smells like cheese" factor!
Even funnier, my husband works at a cheese plant and I tell him when he comes home from work that he "smells like cheese"!

Is it too late to change her name from Genoa to Brie?

Amanda,
I bathe all my girls with the Gerber Brand baby soap that smells like Lavender... Yummy!
Clean babies! Yup.. that Lavender smell- it is ONLY second to "New-Baby Smell"! LOVE THAT!!

Manda,
FYI - I was NOT implying that you do not like clean babies too-- I am sure you are exhausted-- I was merely reminiscing about my own children... Believe you me-- there have been PLENTY of times where I had to think back to the last time I gave one of the girls a bath... Sad, but true... Best of luck to you and baby.. also - did you know there is a type of cheese called "Bath Cheese"?? and also, "Baby Swiss"?? How ironic is that??

Eh. What's a little cheese?
A little Burt's Bees Apricot oil behind the ears should dislodge any old milk/cheese. That'll buy you a few more days...

Burt's Bees Apricot Oil is a lifesaver. Or a nose-saver, at least.
