Because I Said So - what a great story!

For those of you that happened to read about one mom's ebay description (Dawn Meehan) that caused laughter around the Internet - good news! First, here's her ebay description again, if you need a good laugh:

EBay Auction to Remember

The great news is that she has a book coming out in April called Because I Said So published by Ideals Publications. The book sounds like a winner - I can't wait to read it!

Dawn sounds like someone that I would can relate to, oh so well, from the grocery store episode to just being a mom. Check out her blog and enjoy a good laugh, one mom to another.

Blessings,

Last day of Gardens Unit Study special and chocolate...

Hope that you are enjoying a fun Valentines Day. My husband, bless his heart, loves to cook things like fudge and divinity and all things sweet. He has been busy making his secret-recipe best-in-the-world chocolate fudge and is now moving on to try to make Chocolate Divinity - want to come over and join in my sucrose coma? :-)

I wanted to let you know that today is the last day of the Gardens study special, just in case you were interested:

Who needs coffee when you've got chocolate?
