The Mystery Of A Long Lost Love

2015-05-23T22:10:00.003-07:00

My friend, author Linda Weaver Clarke travels throughout the United States, teaching people to write their family history and autobiographies. She is the author of several historical sweet romances, a mystery/adventure series, a children's book, and a cozy mystery series. She is excited to present her latest offering:

Most mysteries are a "who-done-it," but this cozy mystery series specializes on missing persons. Amelia Moore, founder of the Moore Detective Agency, and Rick Bonito always solve their case. Her lost Love is the fifth mystery in the Amelia Moore Detective Series, a nice blend of mystery, romance, and humor.

Other books in the Amelia Moore Detective Series are The Bali Mystery, The Shamrock Case, The Missing Heir, and the Mysterious Doll. For more information or to read sample chapters, visit www.lindaweaverclarke.com.

I did my first radio show interview this morning about the book, Don't Put Lipstick on the Cat! I can't believe how nervous I was! You can listen to it here on The Bill Flynn Morning Show. My interview is about 3/4 of the way through the show. I love how the Bill Flynn Show really celebrated motherhood today!

BYU Women's Conference: So fun!

2015-05-04T15:47:00.005-07:00

Last week I went to BYU Women's Conference! Can you see me in the picture? Just kidding. I am in that picture somewhere, though! I had a great time signing books and also going to the classes. My favorite class was called, "Honestly Acknowledge Your Questions, but first Fan the Flame of Your Faith." The rebroadcast dates are here if you want to watch it. I hear John Bytheway was awesome too! Also, if you have time, check out my book review on Kim Thacker's book review blog, here. Hope you have an awesome day!

Today is the day that author Trina Boice's blog tour stops here! I read her recent novel, "Base Hits and Home Run Relationships," and I loved it! She has a wonderful witty style, and her tips are a must read for any man at any age. From dating to marriage, this is like a manual about how to treat your woman! It's written for men, but I think it would be such a fabulous read for a couple together! What a wonderful way to start good relationship-building conversation! Thanks Trina for another fabulous book!

You can find it here.

We've all got one of these!

Sorry it's been a week since I've posted, but we went to Arches National Park for Spring Break. It was so fun! Here's a picture of the family under one of the beautiful arches. There is some beautiful country in Moab, Utah.

What to do if You Make a Parenting Mistake

2015-04-01T04:00:00.000-07:00

You are not alone. We all make parenting mistakes. Often. Don't beat yourself up. Just learn from it. Try to do better next time. Forgive yourself. You will find your children are very forgiving. I can't count how many mistakes I have made, but when I apologize, all is forgiven, and we even laugh about it together. Often the conversations that happen after the apology are very precious and build your relationship even stronger. If you keep making the same mistake over and over, just keep trying. Do not give up. You will get stronger over time and as you get more sleep. I remember I would sometimes get grumpy at my kids when they kept getting out of bed at night. A short fuse from little sleep. But all that has gone away. I got better over time....and you will too. Forgive yourself. You will get stronger and your parenting skills will grow with time and experience. I know this from my own experience. Today I found myself not getting angry when my child made unreasonable demands in a rude voice. I calmly told her the right way to ask me, and she immediately fixed the problem with no drama. I thought...boy I've come a long way, to be able to do that. And you will to.
