(Even though each person already know what she's bought for them because she accidentally whispered it super loud… Continue reading Christmas – Moments of Joy
What Makes Good Romance?
What makes good romance? We all have different answers because what counts as 'romantic' is different for different people. I write YA fantasy romance and that can be fun. Especially when it comes to figuring out what will set spines tingling. Hearts racing. Spark a smile on even the most unwilling of faces. I'm no expert, but… Continue reading What Makes Good Romance?
Women – why do we always put ourselves last on the list?
*I make sure my kids eat several servings of fruit and vegetables a day. You can't have a cookie until you eat that banana.

He Doesn’t Love Me!
He doesn't love me! This is what my mind, heart and soul were screaming when me and the Hot Man moved into our first apartment. Because he didn't lock all the doors, check all the windows and turn on the outside light. No. Instead he just got into bed and went to sleep. What the… Continue reading He Doesn’t Love Me!
Marriage Can be such a Gamble
Sometimes I'm not sure how me and the Hot Man have stayed together for so long. We are such different people that I'm amazed we actually grew up on the same island and speak the same language. For example, winning the lottery. We were watching the lottery draw on TV and he said, "Imagine winning… Continue reading Marriage Can be such a Gamble
