Writer Mama Reflections: Five Things I Love Right Now…

1. Sitting next to my daughter at the kitchen table on a Saturday night while she writes out her Fancy Nancy birthday party invitations.

2. An amazing dinner we had out at Macaroni Grill last night (thanks to a gift from my husband’s theater kids). If you go, try the Penne Rustica and the Lemon Passion cake. Oh. My. God. Both so tasty.

3. Our new home is an adorable little historic cottage. This felt like our first almost-normal weekend day here. Coming soon: we finish unpacking and have a “real” normal day. I cannot wait.

4. The Internet. My friend Kristin Bair O’Keeffe, author of the debut novel Thirsty from Swallow Press, is giving a talk at the Shanghai Literary Festival about how writers can benefit from social media right now in Shanghai, China. It’s amazing how easy it is to keep up with a friend in Shanghai, China. Thank you Internet!

5. The weather. What a gorgeous spring day we had today with trees in their full blossoming glory. At a local outdoor mall the other night, the dogwoods were blossoming with their holiday lights still on. Three cheers for spring.

Keep the good stuff coming, March. That’s all I can say…

    Thanks for the reminder Christina… 🙂 Made me sit back and think and put down a quick list… Right now I love…

    1. Last nights dinner of pure gluttonly – french fries, chicken wings and a pepperoni pizza from Papa John's.
    2. My dogs – One of them had been ill and now seems better. They bring such joy and exasperation to my life 🙂
    3. My Life – It packed with wonderful, warm, loving people. My work is something I enjoy. And above all I live it on my terms 🙂

    Cheers
    Freya

    I love that doorknob!

    This post made me smile — and think about what I'm happy about right now.

    Cool doorknob! Love that it's purple – my favorite! Sounds like the cottage you've moved into is really nice. Hope the rest of your unpacking goes quickly for you!

    So strange- my wife and I went to movie and dinner (much needed break) with a gift card from her theater kids. I was unfrotunately a little disappointed with Alice in Wonderland.
