Here, I promise to tell you why Mary (of Owlhaven) rocks. (Besides her finalist status in the category of ‘makes us all want more kids,’ a reason for which she is more widely known)
I am a whiner. No secret, right? Well, Mary hears it on-blog and off, since I’ve sought her wise, mom of 8, counsel through email as well. Recently she asked me to send her my address, and I got a little nervous. I expected maybe a nine inch thick book entitled "Why HomeSchooling Solves All" or something along those lines. And she was SO, SO sweet. Look!
Inside were cute socks, lotion, CHOCOLATE, and a magazine for homeschoolers. (That was clearly a hint, but one very well received and appreciated on my part)
I very much needed that unexpected pick- me-up! Thank you, Mary!!
I love you.

Now how sweet was that?!?
You’re so right about the kid thing too. I think “Three is a nice, round…er triangular number. I think I’m ready to stop.” But Mary’s great posts about all her fantastic kids, makes me think an extra 5 would be kind of fun!

How sweet! I think all hints/advice should be accompanied by cute socks, lotion, and a yummy treat.

Awwww, that’s awesome. Mary’s such a peach!

Wow, that was nice of her.
I think homeschooling is great. I did it for the four years I was in highschool and loved it. However, some families just aren’t cut out for it. I think each family should really seek what God wants for them. It can be a great thing for sure!!

That rules. Maybe I should email her.

Pssst…Mary, I’m feeling a bit stressed out too–may I have a goody bag??
She’s a sweetie, for sure!

A fru fru fur lined bag to boot? Okay, now I’m completely convinced. Mary does rock!!

That is SO sweet, way to go Mary. Chocolate solves all.

How sweet. Hope it put a smile on your pretty face.

And we need the homeschooling mag more than we need the chocolate, right? Ha! Kidding. Have a Dove dark chocolate bar.
