Celebrate the Small Things - Another giveaway!

Happy Friday!  I hope you all had a good week, and that you didn't forget to wear green on St. Patrick's Day!  I actually stayed home, so my lack of seasonal color wasn't an issue :)

This one was dead, but still pretty!

This week, I'm celebrating getting to go to the butterfly exhibit at the Botanic Gardens.  It was a beautiful day, and the butterflies were quite active (hence my lack of good pictures--very few of them sat still long enough to pose for me!).  Little Roo seemed to enjoy it, even though the place was packed (thanks, spring break).  I hope they do something like this again as she gets older so she can really see the butterflies.

I also wanted to let you know about a giveaway over at Just Romantic Suspense.  It starts on March 19 (Saturday), and you have a chance to win 10 books of your choice.  It's definitely worth checking out, especially if you enjoy romantic suspense.  I'm offering up a copy of Colton Baby Homecoming, and there are a ton of other great books to choose from!

I hope you have a great weekend!  We're going to keep things low-key, as we may have some bad weather roll through.  Got anything fun going on? Tell me about it!

Celebrate the Small Things - New release edition!

Hello!  Another week down, and it's already March--am I the only one who finds that crazy?!

This week, I'm celebrating my latest release, COLTON BABY HOMECOMING!  This is part of the Coltons of Texas miniseries, and centers on Ridge Colton and Darcy Marrow, former lovers who run into each other again during a murder investigation.  Here's the back cover blurb:

An abandoned baby in danger brings together the Coltons of Texas in this gripping series 

Someone has left a baby on the porch of search and rescue expert Ridge Colton's log cabin. Who? And why? A loner, Ridge knows nothing about caring for an infant. But when the woman who broke his heart years ago shows up to help, he's reminded of everything he once almost had. 

From a wealthy family, Dr. Darcy Marrow was dissuaded from loving the man whose name meant one thing in town: shame. But with a dangerous thug trying to kidnap the baby, Ridge discovers how far he'll go to protect the little one, Darcy…and his long-guarded heart.

If this sounds like your kind of book, I hope you'll consider picking up a copy!

Celebrate the Small Things - Democracy edition

Happy Friday!  What's going on in your corner of the world?  Anything exciting?  Please share!

This week, I'm celebrating early voting.  I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it out to the polls on March 1, but I had a nice surprise when I stumbled across an early polling place today.  Five minutes later, I was done!

I have no interest in discussing politics here or elsewhere online, but I strongly believe voting is one of the most important things we can do as responsible citizens.  Please, take a moment (or several!) to check out the candidates and vote in the primary election.  If you're not registered, please do so before the general election in November.  Go Team Democracy! (Okay, really it's more like Go Team Representative Democracy, but that just doesn't have the same ring to it...)

Celebrate the Small Things - Social media edition

Happy Friday!  Is it just me, or is this year really flying by?  Maybe it's just the sleep deprivation talking...

I've had a nice week.  I finally succumbed to the 'wearable fitness monitor' trend, and bought myself a simple pedometer.  Mister and I have both joined Weight Watchers, and while we've been doing well on the program, I haven't been tracking my exercise as much as I need to.  This little device takes on the job for me, as it automatically updates my progress so I don't have to worry about it.  So far, so good!

Lately, I've been thinking a lot about social media and how I use it.  I've decided to try a new experiment, and set up a 'street team' of sorts, using Facebook. Basically, I'm going to set up a group (I think I'm going to call it Lara's Lab), and invite people to join.  I hope to use the group to talk about books, hold giveaways, and promote romance reading.  If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, find me on Facebook and I'll add you to the group!

That's it for me this week.  I hope you're all doing well.  Any big plans for the weekend?  Let me know!

Celebrate the Small Things - Honey-do edition

Happy Friday!  I hope you've all had a nice week.  We're trucking along as per usual here, which is nice.  Nothing terribly exciting to report, but nothing distressing either, so I can't complain.

This week, I'm celebrating lists.  We have a lot of stuff do to around the house, and I finally realized nothing was going to get done unless I wrote it all down.  It's easier for Mister and I to tackle things if we know exactly what needs to be worked on.  Plus, there's the satisfaction of crossing off items as we complete them, which is an added bonus.

Do you make lists?

Celebrate the Small Things - Reviews and Giveaways, oh my!

Happy Friday!  I hope you all have had a nice week.  It's finally starting to get cold here in my neck of the woods, but thank goodness we don't have the kind of winter weather the east coast is dealing with!  As you all know, I am not a fan of snow!

This week, I'm celebrating a nice review for my March release, Colton Baby Homecoming.  RT Book Reviews gave it 4 stars and said "Ridge's chemistry with Darcy sizzles."  Yay! :)

I have a giveaway for this book starting tomorrow on Goodreads.  You can use the widget below to enter, if you're interested.  Good luck!

Do you have any weekend plans?  We're having lunch with friends on Sunday, which will be nice.  Other than that, I hope to get some writing done.  The proposal and synopsis for my next book is due in a week, so I need to wrap it up!

I hope you all have a nice weekend!

Celebrate the Small Things - That's a wrap!

Hi, everyone!  I hope your 2016 is off to a great start!  I am currently persona non grata, at least where my cats are concerned.  I took them to the vet yesterday, and they still haven't forgiven me for it.  I'm hoping to be back in their good graces by the end of the weekend, and I think the liberal application of treats may help my cause...

Happier times...

This week, I'm celebrating the submission of my July release, Enticed by the Operative!  I sent the manuscript to my editor, so now I'm turning my attention to the next book while I wait to get the copy edits back.  I always have mixed emotions when I finish a book--overwhelming relief that it's done, but also a little bit of sadness that I have to leave the characters behind.  Anyone else feel the same way?
