I found this today while surfing around and felt that it was important enough to share...
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ...enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own, even if she never wants to or needs to
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...something perfect to wear if the employer,or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...a youth she's content to leave behind...a past juicy enough that she's looking forward to re-telling it in her old age
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...a set of screwdrivers, a cordless drill, and a black lace bra
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...one friend who always makes her laugh and one who lets her cry
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...a good piece of furniture not previously owned by anyone else in her family
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...eight matching plates, wine glasses with stems, and a recipe for a meal.that will make her guests feel honored
A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE...a feeling of control over her destiny
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to quit a job, break up with a lover, and confront a friend without;ruining the friendship
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...when to try harder..and WHEN TO WALK AWAY
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...that she can't change the length of her calves, the width of her hips, or the nature of her parents
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...that her childhood may not have been perfect... but it's over
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...what she would or wouldn't do for love or more
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...how to live alone... even if she doesn't like it
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...whom she can trust, whom she can't, and why she shouldn't take it personally
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...where to go...be it to her best friend's kitchen table...or a charming Inn in the woods...when her soul needs soothing
EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW...why she can and can't accomplish in a day...a month... or a year

What's a Mom to do??
So, Jack woke up early on Sunday morning and wanted to crawl into bed with J and I. This particular morning J was the one he wanted to snuggle with, leaving me with the hind-end (or foot-end) of the deal. After about 10 minutes of being kicked in the ribs, the little butterball in my tummy decided to fight back! It was a little painful, but totally cute. Their first fight! :)

Just wanted to post a picture of our newest little angel! :) So, what do you think? Boy or girl??
Bell Pepper Harvest
Jack and I embarked on a little project last Spring and are now reaping the benefits of our 'labor'. We planted a little garden with some herbs & bell peppers. It's been a fun experiment for us and now that that the garden is really starting to produce he wants to go out every day & check on it. I love getting to share the world with my little man.
