Baby Yoda, bird drama, and bookish news

Happy June, my friends! Not much is happening around here this week, but I do have two stories to share. First, my son surprised me with the coolest gift. He ordered an apron from William Sonoma, hand-drew Baby Yoda in Illustrator, and then embroidered the design himself. Let me repeat that: he drew it and then embroidered it. I can barely sew on a button, so I'm beyond impressed. How adorable is this? I absolutely love it, and it may be my new favorite kitchen accessory. My second story...

Flowers

Hello friends! Spring has finally arrived. The cherry trees are in bloom, flowers are popping up everywhere, and dandelions have officially taken over the yard. Best of all—I’m no longer freezing. 😊 Lately, I’ve been working on a couple of projects, including something completely new for me: fantasy. I’ve always loved reading fantasy and paranormal—they’re my favorites—and this particular story has been living in my head for years. I finally started writing it. I’ll admit, writing fantasy...

Hello Dear Friend, As 2025 begins to wind down, I’ve been feeling a little reflective… and very grateful. This year held a big, tender milestone for me: the publication of Courage, Dear Heart. Writing this book asked me to go deep. It was emotional, vulnerable, and honest in ways I didn’t fully expect when I began. And hearing from readers who felt seen, comforted, or understood by its pages has been one of the greatest gifts of this year. As we look toward 2026, I want to say thank you....

Past the halfway mark... I officially have two kids in college now. My oldest, 21, graduated in May but went straight into his master’s program. My youngest is 18 and about to start freshman year—next week! Eek! This year is flying by. Summer vacation has come and gone, and most kids are already back in school. Here in my corner of the world (New Jersey), the temps are starting to dip, which means fall—and hoodie weather—is just around the corner. What about you? What’s your favorite season?...
