I got a little nod from Minti today for an article I wrote called Mantras for New Moms. They sent it out in thier monthly update as an example of how to write a good advice article. Ahhhhh…thanks Minti!

BTW, I’m over here at Minti, Jen Lemen’s a advice master over there and Jen Payne pops in now and again as does Cate’s godmother, Susan. Check it out and join the parenting fray.

In other good-on-you news, I’ve nearly sold out Hiver, with only six copies left. If you’d still like to order one click here.

I’m hoping to post tomorrow about the process of writing an actual book. If you don’t see a post up about it in a day or to, send me emails and give me a VAK (virtual ass kicking.)

Welcome to Magpie Girl! I’ve been longing to get this page up since Jen and I went away to our cozy cabin by the sea to indulge in a non-stop week of artmaking. Here you will find various and sundry written thoughts (most of which will be half formed) recommendations of things i love, and items for sale, handmade by moi.

I’m still doing the triple-threat job of mother/artist/community hostess, so you can expect me to post here only about once a week. Do be a love and put me on your RSS reader (or whatever that thing is that tracks all your favorite blogs and lets you know when there’s something new.) I’ll still be blogging about the life of our soulcare community over at Monkfish Abbey and pop I in now and again with parenting advice over at Minti.

I want to extend a HUGE thanks to my dear husband, Paul, who spent all of last weekend and a good many afterwork hours this week getting this site up and running. Smack, to you bub!

Mmmmm….now that we’re all here in this yummy new space, why don’t you drop me a little comment as a blogwarming gift! Thanks for reading!
