The treasure underneath your feet

September 20, 2013 by Amelia

In an act of wild adventure, we spent the last 12 days of summer vacation in Southern California. The last 12 days as in we arrived home at 12:30 a.m. and the kids started school at 8 a.m. We squeezed all we could out of this summer. To be honest, we wouldn’t have intentionally tortured […]

What T-Rex Thinks of my book

December 28, 2012 by Amelia

The past year has been quite a journey as I wrote Isn’t it Time for a Coffee Break?  I spent many days holed up in a corner of my local coffee shop writing while my kids were at school. Then I rushed home to throw together dinner and help kids with homework. It was quite […]
