My favorite thing in life is paying attention to the world and picking out the fun parts, the true parts, the interesting tidbits, the beauty, and turning it into something I can enjoy and share. I'm a mom, a wife, and a homemaker, delighting in the American South. I’m a writer, a 4th grade field trip taker, a muffin sharer, a stick collage maker, and whatever other kind of help the world around me needs. Over the course of my day, you can bet that I’m stashing away some story dialogue or character traits for future use. Share the journey at www.followyourgnose.wordpress.com
