This is precious. I always love your honesty and keeping it real. My niece, that I have helped raise is 7 years old and since she was a wee-one loves to sleep in piles too. If you turn over away from her she climbs over you and moves your chin gently with her little fingers so she can see your face. That picture so reminds me of those moments. Just sweet!
I love hearing all of these little facts about you! Please design a maternity line! The jury is still out as to whether we will be trying for one more but if I do i would love to wear your clothing. Not that you don’t have enough to do but you should really do it!
ohhhh…a maternity line, that would be cool. Wish I needed some tho…hehe….
Thank you so much, Jen! Hmmm… now I have to come up with 10 things I haven’t already yammered on about…
Thank you so much for tagging me! You are the first to say that my blog is brilliant and it totally made my day:)
I love this post because I actually feel like I know you better from the 10 things you listed and we have some things in common. I am also 5’2″, but I lie about it and say I’m 5’3″. I married into a family of very tall people so I need all the help I can get:). I love food too, but not liver.

Those sleeping piles look a lot more cozy than the “piles” one gets from pregnancy. :-X I pray you’ll come through unscathed. I have found this particular blog entry to be so resourceful, so I want to thank you for posting it. I have been six-degrees-of-Kevin-Baconing all day long and am very happy with the bountiful number of sites that have been added to my favorites.
thanks so much for the wonderful tag!! your blog is darling as is your boutique. beautiful.
xo
what lovely little facts about you!
sleeping in piles. i love it.
xoxoxoxo
I loved reading little tid bits about you! So interesting. I think it’s great you grew up w/o a TV. My brothers used to fight over who got to watch what, and one time my mom cut the cord on a cutting block in the kitchen with a butcher knife (very dramatic.) Of course, a day later, my dad was tapping it back up with electrical tape. lol *sigh*
How sweet, love reading more about you. We also sleep in piles too, apparently a king and two twin beds on the floor is not big enough for 4 people. The kids just love to sleep on top of me. 🙂
I enjoyed reading these truths! I have often wondered how old you are, I can’t guess a day over 35 and even that is the long end of my guess.
My best friends eldest is Autistic and he is so brilliant to me, you can just see a knowledge in his eyes!
Just wanted to say that I am a behavior consultant for ages 3 to 5 – part of my job involves the screening for, and identification of, autism. Asperger’s is so interesting to me – usually involves a high level of intelligence. It’s also sometimes hard to identify in females as the characteristics are harder to recognize. Have you been pleased with her educational programming?
the words from the song, (when peace like a river) just came to mind
my eldest son KP too has high functioning autism .. asperger type … he is gorgeous … and handsfull (man can drive me mad at times) but a big heart with no reservations 😀
the other day he was collecting money for the dead people .. there were some big bushfires here in Australia and at school they were talking about it how 200people have died and that on Friday they do not have to wear uniform and should bring a gold coin as a donation for the bushfire victims … he took it literally …
