Every time I read about people getting the chance to meet authors on book tours, I get really jealous. Living in SouthWest Virginia, the opportunity to visit an author while on a book tour is few and far between. Next Saturday, that will change at least for the day. Kathleen Grissom, the author of The [...]
January has come and gone in a flash. I would think at some point I’d stop being surprised at how fast the time goes by, but it never ceases to amaze me. This is a month I’m pretty happy to have behind me, though. It was tough getting back into the school routine after the [...]
For once, I’ve had a great week. I spent most of it in Orlando at Ektron‘s Synergy ’09 Conference at the Disney Grand Floridian. I spent five days and four nights learning more about CMS 400 version 8.0 (the content management software I wish I could afford to power literatehousewife.com), networking with consultants and meeting [...]

Today has been a preparation for the week to come. On Tuesday I’m heading to the DC area with a couple of my co-workers for a Learning Tree course on Project Management in a Scrum Environment. Ooo! I know, exciting stuff, eh? It actually should be beneficial for my career and it’s always nice to [...]
I hope that all of you had a wonderful week. The weather here has been beautiful, but too hot for April. It was in the low 90s yesterday, making Vinton, VA‘s annual Dogwood Festival and Parade an enjoyable, but sweaty occasion. Let’s just say that I got myself a snow cone along with the girls [...]
Welcome to the Sunday Salon! This Week in Creativity I designed and finished all of my bookmarks for my Bookmark It Club and I can’t wait to get them to everyone! Dar from Peeking Between the Pages and Beth from Beth Fish Reads were the first two members selected to pick a book. Dar selected [...]
