I'm All Over The Place!

Well, if you know me or if you follow my posts, you know that my life is a little bit conflicted. :) I've been battling infertility for nearly 6 years, so I write regularly on the blog www.hopeduringinfertility.com.

However, I'm a nanny to a bunch of little kids, so I write book reviews of children's books (and other posts) on www.chixpartyoffive.com. I intend for this blog to be my catch-all, as well as a place to update you on future writing projects. (My writing projects range from children's books to adult fiction and non-fiction. Please keep following me to see what and when I'm sharing these things! Right now my writings are somewhere between an idea and a final copy.)

Last week I shared a post that came from the depths of my heart. It's my own realization that NOTHING I do will bring about a pregnancy - it's ULTIMATELY in God's hands. Read it here: http://www.hopeduringinfertility.com/how-we-become-parents/.

And a new favorite children's book is something I wrote about today on the blog I share with The Chix (my BFFs from college): http://chixpartyoffive.com/2016/04/you-read-to-me-ill-read-to-you-book-review-betsy/.

March was a busy month for me, including having an outpatient surgery right in the middle.

April involves two weekends of travel. This past weekend I enjoyed a getaway to a mountain retreat center for the Winsome Retreat with "my book club ladies." I came home feeling very refreshed and encouraged. In a couple of weeks I'll be traveling again to help out at a friend's wedding!

Thanks for stopping by!
