The Power of United Women

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, you’ll know there’s plenty of oestrogen in my home with six ladies under one roof. And I love every moment. The chatter and camaraderie as my girls play together—computer, board games, or “make-believe”. The girlish giggles (or rolling-on-the-floor laughter)… and the rare banshee scream.

Sports, Historical and Ranchin’ Romances

My littlies were unwell on and off over the last few weeks, so I’ve enjoyed a variety of fabulous books while I mothered/hugged them.

Meanwhile, my first guest post published on the web! It’s amazing what one can do whilst snuggled on the couch—travelling through time inside the pages of […]

Contractors, Musicians and Royals… Oh My!

I’ve read a mix of women’s fiction, contemporary romance and princess-themed romance of late. And the swing of emotion has been rather extreme. A heartbreaking tale of one man’s parental rights battle, a royalty romcom which had me cackling throughout, and a slow-burn, grief-filled romance ensconced in the musical side of church ministry which brought […]
