http://shecanlaugh.blogspot.com/2013/03/making-life-book-for-baby.html
Sunday, March 17, 2013. Making a Life Book for Baby. Life books are similar to a traditional baby book or scrapbook, the difference is that the purpose is to explain and timeline past events to give clarity and truth to a child who has come home through adoption.

http://shecanlaugh.blogspot.com/2015/04/nicholas-hilliard-my-very-fashionable.html
Monday, April 20, 2015. Nicholas Hilliard My Very Fashionable, Undoubtably, Hipster Ancestor. My mom likes to do genealogies. We have been studying Elizabeth I or "Good Queen Bess" and I realized that the cover art was originally done by none other than Nicholas Hilliard my 12th great grandfather on my maternal (Whitley) line. His portraits were quite the rage back in the mid 1500's it seems. Everyone from the Queen to Sir Walter Raleigh commissioned his work. Here's Nicolas Hilliard himself. Birth Stats...

She Can Laugh...: Teaching Knitting to Children
http://shecanlaugh.blogspot.com/2012/10/teaching-knitting-to-children.html
Monday, October 15, 2012. Teaching Knitting to Children. Every summer (for the last at least 5 summers) at our camp I lead a Knitting Skills Class during our girls camps. It is the highlight of the summer for me because each girl starts off thinking that she is incapable of learning this complicated skill, only to leave a few minutes to hours later feeling like she is very capable and has achieved something most other girls her age can't do! 3 Knitting, as any other thing, is best done when a child shows...

She Can Laugh...: On Being a Camp Kid
http://shecanlaugh.blogspot.com/2015/06/on-being-camp-kid.html
Thursday, June 4, 2015. On Being a Camp Kid. Another amazing and growth producing summer lays before our family. it all starts up on Monday! I've never known mothering without camp-family-ing. This past year I realized something. Being a camp kid is a unique (little understood) childhood. There are some big expectations that are placed upon camp children that are not always understood by onlookers or fellow staff who haven't had older children yet. 1 We absolutely LOVE our life and what we do! 2 We LIVE ...
