I found this writing prompt in my inbox this week from Mama Kat’s Writing Workshop: Aside from your kids, pets, your husband, your coffee and your wine…what makes you smile? That got me thinking. All those things are MAJOR smile-makers in my world. But what else is there? First, Mama Kat forgot to mention another […]
Things I Have Done…
Following up on last week’s prompt about things I haven’t done, Mama Kat asked us to list 22 things we have done. These aren’t all things I’m especially proud of, but for the sake of entertaining you, I’m just being honest. I’m sure when Little K is old enough to understand all this she might […]
