NO. you're perfect ;) i love that you share so much of yourself and that you give me a heads up on what is coming, what to expect, what worked or didn't for you. it's great to hear about someone who has been in the trenches...and someone who did it while keeping a 3 ring binder full of records (like me!). <br /><br />love your blog. and will likely finish returning your email soon. :) xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-23218789663769188542012-05-23T07:47:44.807-05:002012-05-23T07:47:44.807-05:00:)

Oh my goodness what a mess! Of course, this happened a few minutes before our real estate agent was supposed to be arriving. Gah! <br /><br />All that to say, I think you do a beautiful job of providing a balanced reflection of your life. But, of course, we want to chronicle the good, more than the bad, right!?!? :)<br /><br />I second what Marcia said! You're so generous with me about your experiences behind the scenes, and I've learned so much from you as a mama, and a woman walking this journey of parenting twins with me. I treasure that so much, thank you, friend! :)Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10227900123820813021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-29775573071492939852012-05-23T05:13:39.753-05:002012-05-23T05:13:39.753-05:00You have always reminded me to look for the good b...You have always reminded me to look for the good bits (amongst the crazy).

Made me think of you!Marcia (123 blog)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15581613927187600748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-79745690017479537042012-05-22T15:47:39.726-05:002012-05-22T15:47:39.726-05:00I love this post - it is just beautiful;... and yo...I love this post - it is just beautiful;... and you to a T.<br /><br />I read some snotty remarks on a post a while back (can't remember where). They didn't mention names but I'm 98% sure they were talking about Kelle Hampton's blog and how her life is just perfect. Well hello, as gorgeous as her pictures, clothes, are, anyone with a special needs kid is living a "challenging" life and I just thought, "can't you be happy for someone choosing to be positive?"<br /><br />ANyway, I like that' you're very real behind the scenes with me and I treasure that. Not that you're not here, but it's more rosy here. And hey, your girls are just gorgeous and smart and well mannered and I can't WAIT to meet them. Seriously! (oh, and you!!!

I think the more experienced we get with this stuff, the more we realize that most things just aren't that big a deal in the long run.<br /><br />Keep enjoying those good moments, and stick to YOUR story! : )Deannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11371310465607810535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596567296179908968.post-34279872924493395902012-05-22T14:59:59.189-05:002012-05-22T14:59:59.189-05:00You're a REAL PERSON?!
