Dear Reader Letter for Hungry Hearts Novel: Addressing Anorexia
I wrote a book, a Young Adult novel for teens called "Hungry Hearts." The main character has anorexia, but she is not defined by her eating disorder; she is a whole person.

Emergency Preparedness Checklist For Visiting an Amusement Park with Kids
I love taking my boys to amusement parks. Except when it turns scary for real, that is. This past fall my boys and I were enjoying an evening at a local amusement park. The park was all decorated in a fun fall theme to celebrate the fall season and Halloween. Pumpkins, ghosts, skeletons, monsters, haunted houses...it was so awesome. But we were shocked when the entire park, and I mean everyone, was forced to evacuate. I was scared, nervous, I admit it. We weren't sure what was going on, but ... Continue Reading...
