I'm one of those that says I don't like non-fiction. But, in reality, it's the self-help books I can't stand. To me, most of those books could be written in a paragraph--just tell me the important information in a couple of sentences. Why spread the important information into a whole book? (But, I DO realize that not all self-help books are full of such "fluff." I just don't LIKE them, so I lump them all into the same category :-) I want to read a STORY. Some of my favorite books are memoirs and biographies, which are technically non-fiction. I have been addicted to stories since the first days I could read. And I happily haven't gotten a good night's sleep since.

Your babies are just precious! Precious!! As are your words of love for them. I am so happy for your family!! And I can't wait to read about your birth story! Your words and pictures just make me SMILE tonight. Thanks!

Oh my goodness--this is exactly why I love you so much!!! :-) Stupid is stupid. Yes m'am, it sure is!! Okay, so to be totally honest...I didn't allow our children to say "stupid" when they were really little. I just steered them to other words. But, they'd bust my husband and me for saying it! Oops! Now that they are older, gosh, I have loosened up so much. Maybe I should say--THANKFULLY I have loosened up. Now, I just try to focus on them speaking kindly towards others. Which...to be honest (again)...umm, is mostly me just saying (in a very tired voice), "Girls!!!! Be nice!" Good words, friend. As usual. :-)
