Highlights!


So, a thing happened. . . 


My hair was in need of a trim . . .


My before pictures . . .


And if you're going to get a trim, why not highlights?


It always feels SO weird having someone else wash your hair . . .


And then the end result!


Just some subtle high-low lights . . .


Thanks for the day, Marie!!! I had a blast!!!!!!! <3 <3 <3

The Mystery Necklace

 It’s been several years now, and I still haven’t figured out who left this St. Patrick’s Day necklace in my mailbox… whoever you are, thank you!!! I love it!! 



Wildly enough, not only am I a St. Patrick’s Day baby, I’m also an Irish twin!

Favorite Audios?

 When you're on the road, what's your go to audio choice?


I grew up on Patch the Pirate and Jonathan Park, and I still LOVE listening to those, but in later years, I've grown to really love the Lamplighter theater audio dramas as well, and even some basic non-dramatized audiobooks, but the problem with audiobooks, is that if you've read the book, you don't always like the voice actors.

When my publisher told me they were doing an audiobook of Mission of a Lifetime, I was both SUPER excited, and TERRIFIED at the same time. I mean it was exciting, but what if they 'ruined' it? What if it was so boring that it put people to sleep?

All my fears disappeared as soon as I listened to the audiobook sample, but not only did I end up liking it, I ended up LOVING it! My favorite character in that book had always been Alano, but when I listened to the audiobook, I couldn't believe how much more humor came through his voice in the audio than on the page. Alano's smile, and shrug, and raised eyebrow can all be heard through the voice actor and I can't help but smile along with his humor.

So this last week, when I ran out of things to listen to on the way to work in the mornings, I pulled up the audiobook and listened to Mission of a Lifetime again.



So, what do you listen to on the road?
