I kept waiting for it to happen today: to see some item sopping wet and caked with mud and to finally burst into tears.  But you know what?  All this talk about things just being things and the focus being on life is not just on the surface.  I believe those things, and I live [...]

Clothing help, please!

Ok! I need clothing. For a winter wardrobe, if you can call it that, I have two pairs of jeans, several very old t-shirts and two nice (ahem) sweatshirts. That is all. Motherhood has blown all of my good sweaters out of circulation. I was happy with my summer wardrobe [...]
