An Invitation to Join “Jody Hedlund’s Reader Room”

April 5, 2019 By Jody Hedlund

With the many changes Facebook has made over the past years, we never know what will show up in our “home feeds.” Sadly, Facebook limits the number of posts we see from the people we follow and instead inundates us with ads.

Waiting On Spring! (Plus a Giveaway!)

March 15, 2019 By Jody Hedlund

Beat-the-Cold-Winter Giveaway!

February 1, 2019 By Jody Hedlund

For those of us living in the Midwest, this week has sure been a crazy weather week, hasn’t it? I live in central Michigan, and we northerners are quite accustomed to snow and cold in the winter.  In fact, I’ve come to expect cold and gray for about half of the year, from November to April.
