Saturday, May 10th, 2008Since I usually feature books in the parenting genre here, I thought I’d “take a quick break” and offer a few books that don’t fall in that category. These are books that you can use to ignite conversation with co-workers, childless/single friends, or your spouse (when you want to talk about something other than when [...]
Blogs I “Love to Pieces”
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Nell over at Casual Friday Everyday recently bestowed a very special honor on my blog - the “I Love Your Blog to Pieces” Award. I’m flattered by this acknowledgment - especially coming from such a great blogger (and an obviously wonderful person).
I’m pleased to pass on the award to a few women who write blogs that I [...]
What DOESN’T Work For Me Wednesday
Tuesday, May 6th, 2008In case you’re unaware, Shannon over at Rocks in My Dryer hosts a weekly blog carnival called Works for Me Wednesday. People all over the blogosphere share tips about things that “work” for them.

Book Review: ABC’s of Breastfeeding
