Guess what my sister-in-law just found at #SamsClub today? My newest book, #TenLittleFireflies, made it into Sam's Club! 🎉💃 🎉 (It's a big deal for any book to make this cut.) It's a larger size for $8.68. That's heady company sitting next to #GoodnightMoon! #fireflies #cozy #comfort #counting #wonder #faith #boardbooks #picturebooks #storytime #childrensbooks #countingbook #kidlit #storybooks #bedtimestory #bedtimereads #bedtimebooks #kidsbooks #babybooks #family #homeschooling #educationalbooks #newrelease https://www.instagram.com/p/Cffty7ErGw4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If you or someone you know is facing infertility or have faced the loss of a baby during pregnancy, Christmas can be an especially hard time.

What an amazing weekend of learning nonfiction writing secrets from the wise Janet McHenry this weekend at the Sierra Valley Writers Retreat. We even got to hear from the fabulous agent, Barb Roose. I loved the camaraderie and prayer with these dear women. Can't wait to see the books that will be coming soon. Thank you for the inspiration, Janet! #writersretreat https://www.instagram.com/p/CWCnrBRF-kz/?utm_medium=tumblr

New book to love! Stop Living Small by my friend, @marydemuth focuses on the truth that we can only love others when we first understand how deeply we're loved and valued by God first.  Mary makes a clear, compassionate argument why our sense of worth can't rely on anything we've done or anything that's happened to us, good or bad. This truth is so freeing and needed! Highly recommend. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09CRQDCRW/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=wwwrelevantpr-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B09CRQDCRW&linkId=bfa1355f624d47559acf1d268a4e2103&fbclid=IwAR03z8trYXEVT88ZhNngleeybhfVsf8dOkkZZvOHpIVdth20vX2joHnoLi8 #identity #newbook #bookrecommendations #stoplivingsmall https://www.instagram.com/p/CTk9nx1PymY/?utm_medium=tumblr
