Today’s blog honors Rollin Hand (aka Jordan St. John)– most of us knew him as Rollin. The man is a legend in the Spanking Romance genre–and has been writing spanking stories for well over 40 years. I was first introduced to him through Blushing Books, close to 27 years ago. […]
I’ve been mulling a serious post for two months, and then tonight my husband said something that made me stop in my tracks. “We don’t photograph the ordinary–we think it will last forever.” What prompted this? Looking for pictures of a boy who spent days and weeks at our house […]
I read something today that made me cry. It’s a story of a mother realizing that she couldn’t remember the last time she washed her daughter’s hair. How “the little things” just fade away–they don’t go loudly. I have an article from Parents Magazine from years ago–I keep it in […]

B = Baby Boys I’ve been blessed to have both a daughter and a son. And for those of us who have both, we can tell you there are plusses and minuses for each. I remember the day my son was born — vividly. May in Upstate New York is […]
I know, I know! I’ve been busy and haven’t done a post in over a month! I released a book so you have been stuck with boring promo posts (I hated those as a reader, I try to keep them to a minimum), then I went on vacation, then […]
