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!

How romantic

Today's tiny moment is hopefully going to spawn many future tiny moments. Or at least moments up to 30 minutes long.

For months I've been eying the Flip camera (I hate to admit this, but I think I first heard of them on Oprah) and Dave got me one as an early Valentine's Day present. We weren't planning to do any gifts this year, but he had selfish reasons for buying it for me - he wants me to take more videos of the kids. This camera makes it SOOOOO much easier.

That was awesome. Cate's been screaming for the past ten minutes and she quieted down to watch Genoa intently. So thank you for that. :-)

What a great gift! Genoa is adorable, and such a good talker! I miss that age. Mine is only 2.5 but that stage just before they turn 2 is so cute with that little bit of "baby" mixed in.

So, what do you think of it? It looks like a great little (easy to use) camera...
