		<description>You write for some of the same reasons I teach! And now that my children are leaving the nest at an alarming rate, I am happy for every memory we have together that resulted from that choice.</description>

		<description>That is so awesome!  I am a work from home mom too, and I agree, it is all about the kids.  Baseball, football, gymnastics, soccer, swimming...I have to make time for it all and make sure that they know we will be there for them.  And I know that I sure am glad that you write, because your books are fantastic!  :cheer:

		<description>To me, this is the best reason to write!  You are obviously a great Mom and I am sure your kids appreciate you and the snuggles. :) The up side is that we, as readers, also benefit. I loved this post.</description>

		<description>Great post! My kids are older, but I write to one day do this full time. Yep, I love to write and yep, the characters talk to me enough that if I didn&#039;t write people would think I was crazy (okay, so they may already think that), but really I write because I want this to be my full time job, I want to be able to do all that you mentioned above.</description>
