whites19 Not Too Shabby Registered: September 2011 Location: Michigan, USA Posts: 90	Earlier this week I read the best, funniest, most honest, beautifully-written article about parenting I've ever come across. It's something that I know I will want to read over and over throughout the years... and somehow, simply bookmarking the website didn't seem to do it justice... so I made this page. I love how it turned out. You can read the ORIGINAL ARTICLE HERE (since the journaling on this image is pretty small!). This layout uses papers from "Yours Truly" (hearts) and "Autumn Medley" (neutral); alpha from "Yours Truly"; stitching from "Plentiful" (border), "Gracie" (corners), and "Clementine" (hearts, recolored); paper hearts from "Gracie" (center) and "Yours Truly" (lower left); a tag & a string bow from "Hopscotch"; heart stamps (recolored) from "Hopscotch School Additions"; and flowers from "Hopscotch" (white, and green at lower left) and "Gracie" (all others).

PERFECTION! Such a neat idea and I love how it turned out! (And that is a great article...while I don't have kids of my own, I work with them and while I love my job, I can totally relate to this article!)

I'm actually sorry I didn't post earlier. congrats of course for the LOTW win. but even before I loved this page. now I also found the time to read the whole article. it made me smile and nod from time to time, but I guess it really applies to mommies with more than one little one. you have all my admiration :-)) it's really amazing how you made such a long text into such a great layout! love how you worked round the title!
