I was really excited to attend The Whitney Awards last month, and to meet some great authors (Seeing Jeff Savage dressed up as Stephanie Meyers was pretty fun too.). I’m afraid I didn’t get to meet Aubrey Mace, but as I had just purchased her book Spare...

Day 20: Some of the Best Things in Life Don’t Cost Much When I think of my childhood, I remember lots of summer nights playing “becca” (a twisted kind of hide and seek that is best when there are lots of things to hide behind. I have no idea where...

Day 19: Gardens are Great Yeah, so if you’ve read my blog before, you probably noticed that I write about gardening a lot. Well, maybe not so much lately, because I’m a total slacker–I have blogs planned, I just need to squeeze them into my day. But...
