A "MOM" BLOG FOR ALL OF US

You may wonder about the title of my blog. Let me explain. One day long ago when I was getting my son ready for his bath, he asked if I could "Make it warmer." I was surprised by this request as the water seemed plenty warm to me, if not hot. Immediately I received a treasured glimpse into the amazing mind of a child: what he really wanted was for the water to be cooled. After all, he explained in his kid-like way: warm is COOLER than hot. "Make it warmer." I thought that was brilliant. I still do.

Friends

My aunt made a joke today. She said we should have a "sign in/sign out" sheet on our front door to keep track of all the kids that come over. It's actually a great idea! I always wanted to have THE house the kids liked to hang out at, and am so glad we do. They come over to eat, talk, laugh, play, sing, and sleep. They are in and out; upstairs and down. And sometimes, I am not sure how many are here, or exactly who, but I am always glad they are.
