Hmm...it seems like you might have mentioned something like that before... ;) Not a bad idea, my friend... You could contribute the chapter about three-sister families :)
41 Weeks Later
I waited 41 years to achieve a full-term pregnancy. (Well, obviously, I wasn't trying that whole time.) I stayed pregnant for 41 weeks, until we had to finally evict him, as my doctor put it. It has now been 41 weeks since I gave birth. Here are 41 facts about my pregnancy. It took us 13 year...
Oh Sara, big hugs to you! I’m so sorry for your loss and struggle, happy for your 2 year old miracle, hopeful for you now. Sending you happy vibes that everything works out just as you hope!!! Here’s the one thing I knew for sure: I deserved to feel at peace about this. I would either walk away from this battle with my rainbow baby, OR God would grant me the peace I so desperately desired, eventually. At least I would KNOW that I tried everything in my power, left it all on the field, no wondering, no regrets. I know how much COURAGE this takes. Way to be brave!!!

Thank you thank you for your kind words. I'm glad to be blogging again too!
Softening Into Joy
2017 has been very, very good to me. This is not easy for me to say out loud, because I know it's been THE WORST year for so many people. I won't even list all the tragedies and natural disasters that have befallen our nation in 2017, let alone the world, because I think we're all a little too...
Thank you so much for caring and for taking a moment to comment.

Yay, a comment from my favorite commenter! When people comment, it makes me think it's 2009 again. ;)
Simple Thanksgiving Activity: Thankful Thoughts Bags
Here's what I'm pulling together at the last minute for my family Thanksgiving party. Everyone will go home with a bag of tiny notes (some signed, some anonymous) telling them why the rest of us are grateful for them. I'm going to arrange all 28 (!) bags on a side table so people can access t...
Nothing could EVER make me not want to be friends with you, silly! And maybe your jealousy will wane when I tell you the price tag. ;) Why get your heart broken for free when you can pay through the nose for it? Ha.
Falling and Rising
Despite my intentions to make this year my blogging comeback, I'm still not very consistent. But I haven't lost hope. I've found that holding on to hope against the odds is one of my gifts. An almost obsessive concern with authenticity is another gift, but also a curse. In the last couple of mo...
Thanks for the comment! Totally agree. And it's good to inject humor in between all of the seriously heartfelt, sentimental pages too, I think. And KnockKnock is the best. Watch out, you might get addicted! ;)

The Only Scrapbook Album You Need
No matter where you stand on the scrapbooking spectrum—chronological, theme-based, pocket-style, traditional, digital, or just figuring out your memory-keeping approach—I think you'll love the idea behind my favorite album, which is quite possibly the one ablum I'd grab in the event of a fire. ...
Great idea! My daughter has plastic tiaras to spare. Off to go borrow one. ;)

The Three Most Annoying Words in the English Language
These three little words comprise one of the most irritating phrases in the English language. I know I've been guilty of saying them myself here and there, but I hereby vow to stop cold turkey. Won't you join me in helping to eradicate this smug and unpleasant utterance? It's not just the wor...

Easter Traditions: Mona's Mustard Sauce
I haven't always shared the depth of my faith on my blog, mostly because I consider it too precious to be held up to the potential scorn of the world at large. (Not that the world at large is aware of my obscure little corner of the Internet. Whew.) But in honor of this Easter season, I'd like ...
