About Tea & Snippets

A blog about the process of trying to write a book. A nearly impossible task for this stay at home mother of three young daughters with fingernails to paint, swimming lessons, forts to build and bums to wipe.

Rants about my children, strongly worded letters to companies who don’t deliver on their promises, my life, my old jobs, a few tears and a lot of laughs will wrap neatly in the form of a mom-lit style book, a gift to myself by the end of 2010.
