Is this place BYOB?

Would it be weird if I had my daughter bring her own Princess Band-Aid to the doctor today for when she gets her flu shot booster? Or weird in the good, I'm on a totally different fashion plane than you, and I don't care that you don't get me because I'm a budding style icon kind of way?

Idle Idol

Last week, a funny thing happened on my way to my Facebook. An old friend from childhood, with whom I've recently reconnected, posted a clever "status update" about our High School Senior Year Superlatives.

Since it IS Wordless Wednesday,

and I am not permitted to write any new words of my own, and because my co-teacher asked me about my engagement ring, just this morning, here you go: the chance for you to catch up on my Proposal Story, just in case you may have missed it. And for those of you who've read it before, do you remember how ...

"Oh sweet. My girls just learned to share. Baby shared her rice cake with Lola, as I found it in Lola's mouth. Lola shared her dog bowl with Baby , as I found it in Baby's mouth. Yes. Sweet."   Because some moments of sibling bliss are just so nice that you have to share them, ...
