How Do You Take Your Coffee?
I can only drink black coffee with dessert. Christopher has described the latest edition of The Christopher Chronicles as "delectable", so you might want to give this combo a try. Your coffee may be bitter with no cream or sugar, so you might be spitting it out either way...
A Look Inside The Christopher Chronicles 2.0
Christopher's adjective to describe this book is "DELECTABLE" - like DEEE-LICIOUS. Delectable is a word that I thought he made up years ago. The first time he said it, he was being pulled in a wagon by Granddaddy to an ice cream shop. After eating his ice cream, he said, "MMMM DEEEELECTABLE!"

The Christopher Chronicles 2.0 has been like putting together a puzzle. I've had the innards, but the book design was the missing piece. It's hard to put together a puzzle without the edges...
I went back to the drawing board...
Yesterday didn't quite go as planned. My team lost the Super Bowl for one. But leading up to that I burnt dinner and I had to go back to the drawing board. I've been getting up at 5:00 am for countless days straight, so being tired and burnt beans had everything to do with my bad mood yesterday. Fortunately, the schools were on a two-hour delay today and I gave myself an extra hour in bed. So I've got a little pep back in my still grumpy step.
The Christopher Chronicles 2.0 is Coming Soon!
It's February 1st! Wow, last month flew by. Did I say that already? This time, I'm not sad about it about because I worked January like a boss and I'm getting up at 5:00 am for my peaceful hour, like a champ.

Sports Moms: How do YOU spell relief?
I don't know if I am cut out to be a sports mom - as if I have a choice. The last 8 weeks almost seem like an out of body experience. Thanks to Facebook, I have proof that I was present.
"Mom are you famous?
Today I've been featured in Kokoa - an online magazine that focuses on the REAL life of people - not the rich and famous. You can check out my interview by clicking here.
I would love for you to leave a comment there, especially if you've read the book.
A Rookie Mistake...
This week I am participating in a mini blog challenge where Monday's prompt is a Blog Commercial or Confessions of A Blogger. I am throwing my link in the ring combining the prompt in a confessions of a first time author kind of way...
Communicating Instinctively: It's a thing...
Did he just say what I think he said? Had learned it from Transformers? Had it been from Kindergarten? Did the new friend say it? Had he overheard his dad say it? What bothered me most was how experienced he sounded saying it.

The Domino Effect: "life as a writer"
I sold five books to a cheapskate...
“Will people who purchased the first book want the second edition. Most of my co-workers purchased the first edition and I was thinking about buying a second edition for them. What do you think?”
A needle in a haystack!
Hey look! Did you notice that I cleaned up the place? No? Okay well it might be one of those things only I notice. I need some help though. Can you help me get a needle out of a haystack?
Creative Marketing...
Thanks to a 5 minute stream of consciousness I can go ahead and make an announcement that for the life of me I am stressing about the right timing. I love the 5-minute brain dump because I have permission to write and not worry about grammar or mistakes. Today’s writing prompt revised slightly, What do you wish you were better at?
Well first of all...it's my hair
It's a VLOG starring Christopher himself....
Christopher is on his periodic hair kick. I swear he is my little man. "Mom you can dye your hair if you want, just don't cut it like a boy. The only color I would let you get is black or brown if you dye it."
Yes he said, "let".
So I may have been enabling his opinion by shooting this video...
Always fail to "mention"...
What I always fail to mention is that he has been written about. When he was five years old I began to collect his, “Christopherisms” with the intentions of saving and posting a few on Facebook...
