Let's Catch Up!

Hello, hello, hello!

I've been super duper busy since I last posted. Very exciting things are happening over at the Stafford household. Some good exciting, some not so good exciting... but exciting nonetheless.

This week has been a balance of plus and minus. Pros and cons. If's and but's.

We fixed the truck (again)! But the air conditioner broke.
The coil burned up! BUT, it didn't catch fire.
Cool  weather is coming soon. But, it's 91 degrees in the house!
There's still a hole in the wall! But we have paneling to repair it with now.

 It's been a whirlwind, to say the least.

But in this same, hectic week, so many NICE things have happened:
✓ I've been working on my secret project, and I have to say that it is going pretty darn well.
✓ I FINALLY GOT MY NEW DRYER!!
✓ I had time one morning to do some painting with Jase before work (which never happens!)
✓ Did I mention that I got my new dryer?!
✓ I made my first batch of candy for the fall ☺
✓ I finished setting up all my online stores.
✓ I scheduled another book reading with my son's school!

So, as you can see, it's been a little difficult for me to entertain you lately... but, I'm hoping things will slow down for me here in the next few weeks.

I still have to finish my secret project... although, I haven't set a time limit for myself on that one. Just letting it happen as it will.
And I still need to get my act together on these illustrations for Our Little House on the Great Big Hill. I'm hoping to have it at least mostly done by the end of the year. It'll happen eventually I guess haha.

Until next time!

Always Keep Adventuring -
Rachel ♥♥

Snow Drifting

If you live in the Heartland of America, then there's a good chance that you're experiencing snow and ice right now. As an Illinoisan, snow and ice are just a part of our everyday lives during the wintertime. Last winter was rather dry, and we only had a small dusting the entire season. This year, however, Mother Nature has decided to make up what she had missed. This past Thursday was a balmy 61 degrees when I walked into work. Eight hours later, the temperature had dropped to 41, and by the time I made it home at around 10:30 PM, it had dropped an additional ten degrees. By 11:00 PM, it was sleeting. The sleet continued until early Friday morning and eventually turned to snow. Personally, I LOVE snow! Fall and winter are my favorite times of the year, and snow is one of the few things in life that hasn't lost its magic as I've aged. I love sledding and snowboarding (even though I recently bruised my tailbone by pretending I'm still 17 and agile, not 27 and app...

ALSO... Changes

SO, as you may have noticed, my blog looks quite a bit different. I've separated my Blog from my website at this time. You, my beautiful and important followers, will still receive the same posts where you always do: Blogger, GoodReads, Amazon Author page, and NOW from www.rachelstaffordwrites.com (my so fresh, so clean new website.) SO just in case you had to do a double take, that's the reason. ♥♥Rachel

I'm Back!

Hello, people of the internet! I've been on vacation this week, and LET ME TELL YOU WHAT: It was glorious . I have had such a wonderful week, that I don't even know what to say. Monday was my birthday and I did absolutely NOTHING. Not a thing. I was lazy and didn't do a single chore that wasn't completely necessary. I went to my Ma Ma's house, ate chicken & dumplings and blueberry-lemon cheesecake, and had a super fun night with my family. My dad thought it would be funny to swap my candles.  Tuesday was my 7th wedding anniversary. Josh, the kids, and I went to Metropolis Public Library's Fall Reading Program night. It was SO much fun! They had a taco bar, and coloring, and prizes. I read my books to the kids, met family members for the first time, and had an all around great time. After the Library, Josh and I dropped off the kiddos and went out to watch Kingsman: The Golden Circle . We were absolutely thrilled with the movie (and even happier...
