SCHOOL BUS

Back to School Newsletter August 2024

Summer is quickly fading and folks are getting ready for back-to-school. To celebrate, I’m giving away four sets of 10 Bailey School Kids audiobooks. Check out my Facebook and Twitter pages for chances to win. You can buy the individual audiobooks here.


A back-to-school classic is now available as a graphic novel! Click here to enjoy Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots, part of one of Scholastic's best-selling-book series of all time.

It's good to have goals! I’m hanging onto the summer because I made a goal that was totally unrealistic (which isn’t new for me). I decided to try every ice cream flavor at my local ice cream store-I still have a long way to go!

I finally have accomplished a goal from last year (almost). My husband and I were supposed to go to Ireland to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We recently celebrated #41! So before we got to #50, we finally booked it. We’re going to Ireland!! Whoop! Let me know if you have any advice.


My office in our new house is the space over the garage. It is a multi-functional space filled with a lot of cast offs, but I’m liking it. Hope to do more in the future (I really need to clean up the corner of doom mess), but I’m happy to have the wall to wall boxes gone! The cedar chest was my mom’s and it is now a file cabinet. My mom also made the quilt at the end of the bed (it was too small for this bed, but I like the color it brings to the room). The end tables came from our old den. The worktable is from our garage (hope to have cabinets some day!) My big desk is actually our old dining room table.  My husband wants me to get a real desk, but I kind of love the size of the table!  The trunk and wardrobe were my Grandma Bailey’s. It’s rather nice writing with family pieces all around me. Hopefully they will inspire me!


Check out the corner of doom to the right-the big pile is PART of a book I've been working on for many, many years! My grandfather actually made this wardrobe and it sat in my grandmother's garage for many years.
