while we are on the kitty theme

we need your help…
two little kitties were abandoned near us and our roommate shenendoah found them and brought them home till we can find a place for them… we wish we could keep them, but dakota is allergic – and though she says she will take allergy shots so we can get a kitty someday, [...]

no kitties…

slowing down, deep breaths…

well, i feel like this last week has been a good lesson in clarity… the wish for it, and lack of it, and that it is possible to slow down, take a deep breath and live through mud…
over the last weeks we all watched the soon to be 6 mommies at veeandjay, romancingthestork and joulybeansbabyblog… [...]

overwhelmed… would love your thoughts
