ANNOUNCEMENT
As much as I have loved inspiring parents to return to writing, I have moved this website to ErinPTCanning.com, where I help writers pursue their author dreams.
To my fellow parents, I hope you still find inspiration on this website and remember that you deserve space to be yourself—nothing more, nothing less.
