recharging – Nicole Herron Writes

My husband and I read the Harry Potter books as they came out (from book 4 on). We both really enjoyed them and looked forward to sharing them with our children. On a road trip the summer after first grade, we listened to the audiobook of Sorcerer’s Stone, and they were hooked. We continued to…

It has been quite the social week for me. Last Tuesday my husband and I flew to Chicago for Adepticon (a gaming convention he helps with every year). I went last year for the first time. A friend I’d met online and her husband went too and we got to hang out in person for…

I’m sitting at the zoo, waiting for my daughter’s volunteer shift to be over. I brought my laptop along, expecting to get all kinds of writing done. I did not. At least, not as much as I’d hoped. But that’s okay. I did some brainstorming, which was the objective for today in the Fun Size…

I think I mentioned in a previous post that my husband invited a friend over to spend the day painting and to stay for dinner. Today is that day. And there are actually two people. I’m currently hiding in my room, which is probably incredibly rude, but I just can’t push myself to go out…

I have been super busy the last several days and while there have been many events I’ve wanted to write about, I haven’t had the chance. Friday was my kids’ 6th grade graduation and the friend celebration that followed. Saturday was a recovery day curled up with a good book and trying my best to…

As I said in yesterday’s post, I am taking today as a recovery day. I went to bed way earlier than usual last night. I work out in the morning before anyone in my house is awake on M/W/F, but when the alarm went off this morning I reset it to an hour later and…
