I must confess, I didn’t get any writing done over the holidays. I spent most of my time in the kitchen, cooking and baking. Mince pies, sausage rolls, cookies, all the necessities of Christmas. I love making good things for my family to enjoy and experimenting with new recipes. In my next post I’ll share the new recipe I created which has become a new favorite for my husband. We were once again blessed to have the family together for Christmas. It warms my heart, spending time with loved ones and friends. Making new memoriesContinue reading

Tools for Authors

Revisiting the Past
I love to write and yet I have never been one to keep a journal, this year I have made a commitment to do so. What prompted this New Year’s thought you might ask? Memory triggers.
