TODAY is our 10 year anniversary of a life changing event. Mom, Ammon, Bree and I took off on an adventure that lasted four years and took us through 80 countries as a family, changing all of our lives forever. It’s incredible to look back and see how […]
Yippeee!!! Just got my 75th review for Vol. 2 “Backpacks and Bra Straps” on amazon.com! If you’ve read and loved it too, please take the time to leave your review for baby #2 http://www.amazon.com/Sihpromatum-Backp…/…/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1… If you don’t have amazon, goodreads always works too! 🙂 And lastly, if […]
You may find it a bit ironic that as an author of two books, I have never been part of or attended a SINGLE book club. I don’t know why, but for some reason the opportunity never presented itself until my dear friend Jessica, who is also a […]
As many of you know I have been collecting photos of readers with their copy of my book around the world and posting them in my “Around the World” Album. Couples, women, men, grannies, families, travellers, I have had readers send in photos from 35 different […]
Hey guys, could I possibly ask another favour on top of all that you already do for me?!?! A few people have brought National Geographic’s Traveller of the Year to my attention and have nominated me. If you guys feel I inspire you as a traveller, I would […]
YESSSS!! I got my new passport!!!! I’m set for the next ten years. Yippeee, I’m off on the next adventure!!!! Oh wait…. I almost forgot. **turns around and sits back down** I’m an author now. Write first, travel second. I can only imagine what the postman must’ve […]
This is too funny!! So Bree and Ammon both flew out of Vancouver today and when they arrive in their destinations, they will be on the same time zone…. but LOOK at this weather. Manzanillo Mexico Winnipeg, Canada I know who I’d rather be! I’m so […]
I thought it was SOOO sweet of one of my younger readers, who is now the age I was when I left on the trip, to send me this photo using my book! She came with her mom and grandma to one of my book signings in Vancouver […]
I really enjoyed a day in Haarlem last week with Mom and fellow writer Jessica. I’ve been to Haarlem numerous times, but never as a tourist. I was happy to tag along with Jessica and her friends to explore a bit more of this historical, beautiful city. Our […]
Now settled back in the flatlands of Holland, it’s hard to believe that only a few weeks ago I was breathing the crisp mountain air in Canada. Within the last couple of years I have skied in French (Mont Blanc) and Swiss (Leukerbad) Alps. Both were so […]
Wow, it’s hard to believe that 2015 has snuck up on us so quickly. I bet we ALL can remember the hype of 2000 and the excitement that came with it, as if it was yesterday. I spent that special New Years with immediate and extended family in Whistler, […]
I wanted to wish you all an early MERRY CHRISTMAS. I know everyone must be running around getting those last minute presents, dinner party ingredients and arrangements, cleaning the house and getting in a jolly cheery mood. Others may be biting their lips, trying to figure out the […]
I love all of the exciting, interesting people we meet at each fair. People who come into your life and stay friends forever. This week I will be selling books at Circle Craft (Nov. 11t-16th) and Christmas in Seattle (Nov. 14-16) at both the Convention Centres. I can’t […]
Though we’ve only attended and participated in two fairs so far, they have definitely been exciting and I cannot wait for the next to begin this weekend. We are by far the loudest booth around for sure and our neighbouring vendors are always entertained by the attention we get […]
I have to start with saying how honoured I am to have my books right up there on display next to Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield! Thank you so much Black Bond Books for the privilege and #1 fan Melanee for being the star behind the scenes. I cannot […]
