Book Recommendations and Helpful Dogs

Hiiii lovely everyone! It’s been a minute (or, you know, four years! heavens!) since I last blogged, but does it count that I think about blogging fairly often? (No?) 😊 Actually, for a while I’ve been thinking about starting a newsletter — fun idea, maybe? Then I could essentially go back to writing my blog, but in the form of . . .

Covers and Voting and Hugs

Hello loveliest people in the world! I have been thinking about blogging at you for a while, but it is tricky because I have like…800,000 different emotions every day?  And about half of them are hopeful but the other half are of the let’s-all-go-hide-under-the-covers / need-more-ice-cream variety, so I keep trying to catch myself in a happy mood to write . . .

Dragons in Self-Isolation

Hello lovelies! To keep my mind off the news, I’ve been thinking about what the Wings of Fire dragons would do if this global pandemic/quarantine situation happened to them.  I mean, Clay is clearly a comfort baker, don’t you think?  He would 100% show up outside your house to leave baskets of scones and muffins on your doorstep…unless he accidentally . . .

The World Turned Upside Down

Hello loveliest, most wonderful readers, I know, it really shouldn’t take a global pandemic for me to return to my Neglected Blog (that’s the official title now), but here I am — in my house (all the time! forever!), and thinking about all of you and how you’re doing and what a few dragons might do to help.  I’m supposed . . .
