Because I will [ EP release and interview with the author ]

Meadow Barrett is joining me on my blog today!! She just released her EP on iTunes. . A book she co-authored is available here . Also find her on facebook. First I'll, be asking Meadow a few questions, then she has an article to share with us! Meadow Barrett lives in the backwoods of Tennessee surrounded by her big family. A few of the many things she enjoys are the crazy parties with her family, deep Bible study, recipe inventing, sprinting, and of course . . . writing! She is a co-author of a (THM) devotional, a writer of articles, and a singer/songwriter who just recently released her first EP. She is hoping to write and sing much more in the near future! Welcome, Meadow! So, first question, are you a born-again Christian, and if so, how does this affect your music? Yes, I grew up in a Christian home and became a born-again Christian at age 5! This doesn't just affect my music . . . it gives my music purpose. While I do write some songs that are about simple things ...

Beautiful People { January Edition }

Finally got around to the Beautiful People blog link up again! If you'd like to participate go to Cait's blog Paper Fury. Here are the questions and my answers, and also some great quotes! 1. How many years have you been writing?When did you officially consider yourself a ‘writer’? I've been writing since before I can remember, but I haven't always been as serious about it. For a while I was in to painting and drawing. But eventually I realized that I really love writing. Even then I didn't start writing regularly until about a year and half ago, when I realized the only way to write was by writing. 2. How/why did you start writing? Because I love to. I started writing with thoughts then paper and pen ;) Lol. Maybe this was answered in the above question. Writing is just something that is a part of me and helps me know what I think better. 3. What’s your favorite part of writing? All of it! The originality. That it's mine. I love when really g...

First Post For 2015

This will be the first post for the year!!! A lot has been going on. I keep meaning to post more... but just haven't got to it yet :) This will just be another quick update :) Here are some things that have been happening: Remember I was writing 100 words a day for 100 days for a challenge? Well, that challenge ended. Now a friend and I have decided to write 200 words a day, and report back to each other at the end of every week. Do you like You Tube? Here are some new ones I've discovered recently: Julian Smith, Blimey Cow, Pentatonix (some of their stuff might be weird), and Kid Snippets. A friend of mine, Clara Stone with Quixlan Heirloom Seeds has a new email catalogue going out, so if you plan to be ordering any seeds, make sure to check out hers! I did some baking for Thanksgiving and Christmas. The chocolate bread I made both times, the cake I made a couple weeks before Christmas for some girl parties, and the rolls were for Thanksgiving. Everyone seeme...

{ 2015 }

Happy 2015 :) And, no, I do not believe in New Year's resolutions. I believe in everyday resolutions - the kind that you can actually complete. Why have new lists to fail? January 1 is no different than August 1. Live each day like a new day!

Unbroken [ movie review ]

PG-13: War, violence, brief language and some disturbing images. My rating: 5 stars. World War II is all around Louis Zamperini, former star Olympian Athlete. In the air, surviving multiple times, witnessing death, and more, he just wants it to be over. His memories of the past come to him, reminding him of the struggles he had over come, and the good times that were no more. But the words of his older brother keep him going. "If you can take it, you can make it." After surviving a dangerous plane landing, Louis and his team embark on another mission only to crash out on the ocean. The survivors stay alive on a raft, praying to be rescued. For days, they go through many harrowing, near-death encounters only to be rescued by something even worse. The torture, humiliation, starvation and horror that follow test him to his limits. No one should survive. Most would give in. But Louis remembers "If I can take it, I can make it." Even if he doesn...

What Thou Need'st by Bethany Canaan [ book review ]

Thank you, Bethany for letting me read this wonderful story!!!!! Prince Bartholomew is just about the most selfish human you could ever meet. And being the Prince, no one can stop him. Poor Kendall Thatcher finds it is his "honor" to become the squire for the prince. Being mute, Kendall is the perfect candidate - he can't talk back. But as Bartholomew will find out, those that look out for themselves reap only havoc. Overnight the prince finds himself in an unusual predicament. The two boys must set out on a journey to discover how to right this, and bring every thing back to normal. The only clue are the words of a scorched paper "What Thou Need'st: A Pr". What "Pr" stands for, the boys guess with much disaster. New people come on the scene and make it more complicated, as this unlikely fairy tale comes to a close, the Prince and Kendall wonder if it will have a fairy tale ending after all? Thoughts: This is the second time ...
