Welcome to our “blog.” A medium that – according to the daughters of the family – is so archaic that it’s the modern equivalent of quill and ink.

Nonetheless, we would very much like to share our journey of writing and publishing our family-written book, as well as our thoughts and what we’ve learned along the way.

And while we do our best to also be active on social media (especially on Instagram, see here: Contact Us), we also believe this “blog format” allows us to provide more in-depth observations and updates.

We’ll also address some of the “creative differences” we’ve experienced along the way, as we’re not just a happy “Brady Bunch”/“Von Trapp” kind of family all the time.

So, we hope you find our blog posts interesting and perhaps useful, and feel free to reach out if there’s anything you want to discuss further or hear more about.

Also, in case you landed directly on this blog:

• If you want to read a sample chapter from the book (plus the “Table of Contents”, as it gives you an idea of the unhinged humor we bring), you can find all that here: Sample Chapter.
• If you want to know more about the Smirtz stories, you can explore this here: What is The Stories of Smirtz about.
• If you want to sign up to our email list to get another free sample chapter and be notified when the book comes out (September 25, 2026, the youngest author’s 13th birthday), you can do that here: Sign up for another free sample chapter.
• If you want some background on who we (the authors) are, you can find that here: About the Authors of Smirtz.
• And finally, if you want to read our blog, you can do that… eh… well... here… (Guess you came to the right place).

Enjoy!
