I first heard about The Mother Letter Project from Stephanie at Adventures in Babywearing by-way-of Shannon at Rocks in My Dryer. I was amazed from the first moment… and I continue to be amazed and inspired and enlightened by the letters that have been contributed to this most perfect gift from a man to his wife. My letter is about [...]

This is a Thanksgiving post. Can’t you tell from its title? It is. And I write it with great love for all women with crappy fingernails. You have finished cleaning your home. Laundered your tablecloths and napkins. Dug out your roasting pan and rack and baster. Your nails have taken a beating. You have been to the market. Picked up [...]

(Does this post have a, “This one time? At band camp?” feel to it, or is it me?) Anyway, during that time I was fortunate enough to meet up with [...]

She was a bit frantic, trying to keep a baby in her shopping cart and manage both a toddler and a little girl while swiping her credit card.
