Writing From a Teeter-Totter. The Ups and Downs of Balancing Writing and Mothering. The Autumn Reading Tag. October 8, 2016. October 9, 2016. Autumn lasts only a couple weeks here on the Gulf Coast but maybe that’s why we love it so much. We can drink coffee outside, have a toddy around the grill as we eat jalapeno poppers, wear leggings that reach our ankles, all without sweating! Posted about an Autumn Reading Tag (created by Amy Jane Smith. I couldn’t wait to participate. I also plan on reading HARRY ...

Writing From a Teeter-Totter. The Ups and Downs of Balancing Writing and Mothering. Haiku and Magical Implantation. June 23, 2016. June 23, 2016. Have you seen the meme floating around facebook of how words are magic? How a few sounds we make with our mouths can create images in others’ minds? So what is a traditional haiku? First, the structure. Three lines 5-7-5 The first line needs to have five syllables, and so on. Second, the subject. A traditional haiku is usually about nature. Which is a cutting w...

Writing From a Teeter-Totter. The Ups and Downs of Balancing Writing and Mothering. The Magic of Mardi Gras. February 12, 2017. February 12, 2017. We find a spot against a barricade and the crowd swells. Both kids gasp. My three year old grabs my hand in his. A train, the Conde Express, massive, gloriously green, purple, and gold steams toward us. 8220;Hands in the air! 8221; I instruct the kids as beads and stuffed animals and moonpies rain down. Throw something to me! Mobile, AL is the birthplace of Ma...

Writing From a Teeter-Totter. The Ups and Downs of Balancing Writing and Mothering. Faith, Trust, and Pollen Dust. August 22, 2016. The kiddos and I are eating breakfast one morning when my daughter sighs deeply into her Cheerios. “Magic’s not real, is it, Mommy? 8220;What do you mean? She shifts in her booster seat. “Well, princesses aren’t real.”. Nervous, I launch into a monologue about the differences between our democracy and a monarchy, and by the time her eyes glaze over, something catches my atte...

I love being near water, any kind–I grew up in between swamps and a river and now live at the bottom of Alabama, right where the antebellum lady dips her toes into the Gulf of Mexico.

Writing From a Teeter-Totter. The Ups and Downs of Balancing Writing and Mothering. Time Zones: It’s A Paw-ty. July 25, 2016. July 25, 2016. My baby turns three tomorrow. So, technically, and according to him when he flexes his super-hero muscles, he’s not a baby. As very little is more magical than a birth and the thriving, I thought today’s blog post would be apt to talk of that with the combination of writerly things. He still prefers to hold only my pinkie. It’s like our secret handshake. A w...My ne...

Writing From a Teeter-Totter. The Ups and Downs of Balancing Writing and Mothering. June 6, 2016. Last night was the Miss USA pageant. I didn’t watch it since I was catching up on Outlander but all the chatter about it on social media got me thinking…. How much fun would it be if I held a bookish pageant of sorts? Oh, you didn’t realize I’m a big dork? When it comes to books and random fun facts, then yes. Yes, I am.). These are some of my Miss Bookshelf USA delegates. Marissa Meyer’s SCARLET. Without fu...

Writing From a Teeter-Totter. The Ups and Downs of Balancing Writing and Mothering. September 24, 2016. September 24, 2016. I thought of something else while I was in the shower–too early for my right brain to be awake and tell my left brain and me how silly we are–what about the authors who summarize their grand literary conglomeration into an. But some authors take their book itself and connect it to the readers. Here are some of my favorites:. 8221; -Lena Roy, author of. The main theme centers around ...

Writing From a Teeter-Totter. The Ups and Downs of Balancing Writing and Mothering. May 25, 2016. May 25, 2016. Look at me, carving out a tiny piece of the internet to call my own. I’ve put off blogging for years, unsure that I would ever have anything to say that hadn’t been said before (and probably better–I tend to use run-on sentences and lots of parentheses). But then I thought, couldn’t I say the same about any sort of writing? Don’t we all have those uncertainties? Say hi if you’re here! Blog at W...
