How To Replace Your Old Screens - Tutorial

Spring is here. A little cold, but it's here. And when spring rolls around, something just happens to me. Everyone in my family hates it. Like a full moon to a werewolf, spring transforms me into a different kind of beast.

A spring-cleaning beast.

It's not pretty.
I've tried to keep it from happening, but so far, I've failed miserably.
But that's okay, because actually, I like spring cleaning. *Imagine groans from every direction in my house*

I like revamping.
And purging.

And...yard sales! Get rid of something, replace it with something... ;)

I try to do one thing at a time, but being ADHD makes that a little difficult. One moment, I'm dusting the top of the entertainment center (while hubby and son are playing a baseball game, hehehe) and the next, I'm tearing out all the old, ratty, torn-up screens in the house. I got tired of all the martyr sounds the boys were giving me so I moved onto the next project. (After the dusting was finished and the entertainment center top was re-fabuloused! Hey, what can I say? Sticks and stones, baby. Sticks and stones.)

So I thought I'd share the easy peasy screen changing steps in a quick tutorial for you.

Identifying What Love Looks Like

Recently a fellow children's author contacted me and asked if I would review her picture book. Having several books and projects others had asked for my help with, I told her I could put her on a waiting list. She told me she was happy to wait, and on the list she went. My latest project was a long novel, so I decided to take a break from  it and look at her picture book. As surely as you are reading this, I was glad I did!

I Really Love You, Ava is an extremely well written book about a little girl searching for real love. Her mother tells her she will know it when she sees it and so she sets out to see if she can recognize it as her mother suggested. I loved the concept of Ava not just hearing that people loved her, but that she was able to identify love when she saw it. Thank you Miss Clowe for this wonderful story and may we see many others in the near future.

Happily, I Really Love You, Ava, is available in both Kindle and Paper back form. I think this book is probably best suited for children five to ten years of age, but it wouldn't surprise me if the adults reading along enjoyed it every bit as much. I know I did!

So ends another episode of Kids Korner with me, Children's Author Aileen Stewart. Join me next week for another exciting episode same krazy time, same krazy channel. And feel free to drop by my personal website Fun With Aileen any day of the week for even more on reading, writing, and my very own middle grade book Fern Valley.

Christian Devotional - May 18, 2013

Good morning!

Lately, I've been going through the book of Ezekiel. I wanted to share with you one of the daily devotionals I wrote this week that has really stuck with me.

Ezekiel 30:9a--On that day messengers will go out from me in ships to frighten Cush out of her complacency.

TRUTH:
Complacency is a dangerous attitude to have. This sense that people can just float through life and not take a stand for the things of God often leads God to take action against that person or nation in order to shake them up. God says here that He will frighten the people of Cush so that they will move out of complacency and into action. Are we complacent? What will God have to do to get our attention and move us to action?

RESPONSE:
Father, help me to not just sit on the sidelines of every issue, but to stand up and take action for You and the things that You stand for. I will not be complacent any longer, but will move with Your purpose in mind.

Is that your prayer today? Today there are so many issues that are at the forefront that it can be easy to get overwhelmed and just want to sit on the sidelines. We must take a stand for Jesus Christ and for His message in every area of our life. Decide today that you will not be complacent!
