With Valentine’s Day drawing near we wanted to come up with some fun and hopefully unique ideas for sharing the holiday with family and friends close by or far away. So from now until the big holiday we’re going to share at least one idea a day for you to try.

For Chinese New Year we sent a package to the Celiac kid and his brother. It had a little present and they each got a little Chinese envelope with money in it. I’d like to say we did something spectacular here at home, but didn’t. Maybe next year we’ll have Chinese food for dinner and make a paper dragon or something.

It’s funny. I use Goodreads all of the time. I’m always updating what books I’m reading and rating them. I love seeing what other people are reading and reviewing. So, I find it funny that it’s taken me three years to realize that I could be registered as a Goodreads author.

It actually started because I was looking up our books and couldn’t find The Celiac Kid on the Goodreads site. I then found out how to manually add the book and filled out all of the information. When I went to the new page it showed my names as illustrator. I clicked that link and low and behold it asked if it was me. Which, to be honest, I rather chuckled at. Anyway, to make a long story shorter, I registered and Stephanie registered as well. So as of this week we are official Goodreads authors.

If you haven’t rated or reviewed our books here are the links to get there: A Paper Hug, Operation: Celebration and The Celiac Kid. And, if you’re curious you can check out our author pages: Anneliese and Stephanie.

Some things are too good not to share. Here is a card we received from the kids at Camp Manitou-Lin.

Recently, we had the opportunity to enjoy a “Gluten Free Expo.”  It was very informative but even better were the samples.  It’s nice to see more and more GF foods in the grocery stores but it’s nice to see what they taste like before buying.  That’s what this expo [...] Continue Reading…

I came across this image on Facebook and felt it was appropriate to share today.

If you know a Veteran, tell them “Thanks!”  We take everyday freedom for granted.  Having recently  read about some of the atrocities in WWII, I’m grateful for those who put their lives on the line so we can enjoy the freedom we have today.

Thank you to all those who [...] Continue Reading…

Recently, my niece asked about my dad who served in WWII and the Korean Conflict.  It opened up a flood of memories about him.  He has been gone, now for over two years so the memories are very dear.  He and his 5 other brothers believed in serving our [...] Continue Reading…
