Had a tasty hotpot date with Kevin. Like some of our other dates, it ended perfectly BECAUSE for real, we spotted a thrift shop on the other side of the parking lot. Reduce. Reuse. And recycle. And yes, I have shown a classy guy like my husband that treasures can be found at the thrift store.

All you thrift shoppers, what is your best tip? Thinking of sharing some of my fav steals in posts to come! ... See MoreSee Less

Stressful, sad. Hard and heartwrenching. Yet rewarding and something we won’t regret.

So months back when my development editor, Amanda, took my manuscript and formatted it in Microsoft Word to make sure it was indented and spaced to book format, I got excited because this book thing was feeling more real.
.
When the book was being edited and I finally got to stop looking at track changes, I breathed hallelujah for like the whole week after. What a relief..
When major edits were done and the words were out of Word and placed in #typeset, so it was looking real bookish, I got giddy seeing the title page and the font.

The process of writing a book has been much less glamorous then I always thought it to be. It is so much work! It was a full family endeavor. A challenge. Something I honestly wasn’t sure I would be able to finish while in the process.
Which is why when #thevalueofwrinkles turns up on my door step, I’m probably not going to even open it for awhile. I think I’m just gonna stare and stare in amazement of the final product for hours. None of the kids will be allowed to open it so they can see themselves listed in the back. We are just gonna have a bookviewing party for the first day. And we can celebrate with ice cream in a separate room. 🙂 Almost there. Thank you so so much for cheering me on!
