A Book Deferred

The resolution to write a UVA children’s book differs greatly from actually writing it. Our little man was only a couple weeks old when I decided to pursue writing a book for him, but as it turns out, I had significantly less “me” time as a mom than when I was working 60 hours a week. As the months passed the resolution remained, meanwhile JJ began rolling, eating solids, and crawling.

Next came the big move. As time always seems to do when you are enjoying life, it flew, and our two years in New Orleans were over. We took one last look at Uptown, our shotgun house, and happy life there, packed up the dog, Grits, cat, Corn Muffin, three live oak trees, our son and piled into our Expedition for the 1,000 mile drive. Our trek led us to Richmond, VA and the first home we owned. My husband took a position to practice law at McGuireWoods. Oh it was good to be back in Virginia, but so sad to say goodbye to NOLA! But with my parents right up the street from us in Midlothian, VA, it was amazing how much more “me” time I now had.

After boxes were unpacked, walls painted, and rooms decorated, I used my “me” time to work on my overdue book. There was much to do!

I am a HUGE diehard UVA fan and have been since I was 6. I am starting my 9 month old right and raising him to be a HOO fan myself... I would like to know where I can find this book to add to my collection and be able to read it to my son and have him join in the UVA family at an early age... Thank you, from Ashland Va WAHOOWA!!!!

    As a "Double Hoo" or double graduate of UVA, I couldn't wait to share my alma mater with my son, which was the impetus for this book! Join me for a behind the scenes look at the making of "Sweet Dreams UVA."
