Belly Button

The shortened version of what a belly button is:

A scar

Or at least that's what I read on the web and told Grace.


Thanks, Leah for the extended version!

Kid question

What's on the other side of a belly button?

(It even stumped Grandma the nurse!)

A year

What a difference a year makes! So much has happened, so much has changed, so much I have wanted to say and write, so much I have missed out on, so many friends' blogs I haven't read. Where to begin?!?!?

I wrote to my cousin's daughter something wonderful....

XXXOOO's! Life ain't so bad, my darling! If your mama and I survived, so can you and sister. It's in the genes. You come from a long line of strong, powerful, kick ass, gorgeous women and don't you forget it!

Now only to have it tattooed on my forehead so I can remember it for myself.
