And the (optional) Question for December is: As a writer, what was one of the coolest/best gifts you ever received? The absolute best gift I've gotten is my convertible dolly - my husband got it for me to cart around my book event paraphernalia & books. It's been a lifesaver!
Looking forward to reading y'alls posts!
My post is about family. I love the Family Time and am looking forward to more!
I had a terrific visit with my one and only sister and her fantastic kids (and families) plus our folks--so nice to get together and see them all. The great thing about families is we can be ourselves. We tease each other and joke around, but we know it's all meant in fun and our family loves us, faults and all. And that's all in addition to the yummy cooking! But it's also nice to go back home to our own familiar surroundings and the way we do things.
Hope you all are enjoying the holiday season and sharing lots of HUGS!!
Oh, and while I was out of town, my lovely writer friend Tyrean Martinson posted a fun podcast featuring moi! I was so flattered she asked and so excited to share it! Here's the LINK.
Stay warm and cozy!

You are blessed to have a family like that.
Thanks for co-hosting! Merry Christmas.
A dolly? That's awesome. But seriously -- as I've taught a few years straight and have to cart things back and forth, I'm a little envious. LOL!
I hope this season is the BEST family time for you and that there's much laughter, peace and joy.
The dolly sounds like a really thoughtful, helpful gift. Enjoy your time with your family during the holidays. Thanks for co-hosting with me.
Thanks for co-hosting! And for the podcast shout-out. You rock! Merry Christmas!
Family as a favorite gift--just doesn't get better, except for those crazy ones. Hmm...
A dolly - your husband is a doll! I'm heartened to hear of your terrific family times... oh, what joy!
Families and good friends are the best! Thanks for co-hosting today, Tara. My best for the rest of the holiday season.
I agree with Lee, families and good friends are the best.
Have a lovely Christmas season and a blessed walked over into 2026.
Shalom shalom
Hi, Tara! You summed up so well what and why family is wonderful. What a smart and thoughtful gift from your husband! Have a Merry Christmas!
A convertible dolly?! How wonderful! There really isn't anyplace like home with the warm embrace of family, especially for the holidays.
Loved this post!
May the season be everything your heart desires:-)
A dolly - what a thoughtful gift.
When regularly moving things in and out I can see how a dolly like that would be a nice thoughtful gift with a long lasting practical use. That's my favorite kind of a gift.

Thank you for co-hosting this month. I love that you have a cool dolly to carry your books. I use a rolling suitcase and my husband often wears a minion badge when he helps me at events.
We had a wonderful early Thanksgiving with my husband's father in Arkansas. (Which got me off the hook making another turkey for us on Thanksgiving.)
You are truly blessed, Tara. Being yourself is so important in life. I LOVE the idea of a dolly/caddy to bring my books and stuff to book signings and sellings. Thanks for cohosting this month's question for IWSG.
Excellent gift for the author on the go! @samanthabwriter from
Balancing Act
I have a troller, which I inherited from another person who no longer used it. I see people with the small fold-up carts which I interpret as a dolly, and I thought about getting one... but I'm only planning another year of this, and only two of the venues really need it.
Great you saw your family over Thanksgiving, and thanks for co-hosting today :)

Dollies can be a wonderful helper and they never complain...unless they get rusty. Wonderful you can spend holiday time with family. Thanks for hosting!

Family time is the best in all situations.
Is that a pelican with presents in the last photo? That's perfect for Florida!
Family is a wonderful gift! Happy ISWG!
A good family is a gift to celebrate. I've got one, too--I spent TG with my kids in California, enjoying lots of sunlight as well as their company. They'll be up for Xmas in a couple of weeks, so I MUST finish my current draft before then!
