The Damm Spot: Want to (help) buy a water buffalo?
http://thedammspot.blogspot.com/2014/12/want-to-buy-water-buffalo.html
The "happy blog" of the Damm family, named long before Steve's brain tumor. Tyra's 2013 reading list. Monday, December 08, 2014. Want to (help) buy a water buffalo?

A water buffalo is valuable and therefore pricey - $250. As she's done in years past, she has launched a plan to raise money for the Christmas project. If you'd like to buy a bookmark or two!

The "happy blog" of the Damm family, named long before Steve's brain tumor. Tyra's 2013 reading list. Monday, December 01, 2014. When magic and honesty collide. We have exactly 12 minutes until we need to back out of the driveway. My hair is dry, but my makeup is only partially applied, and I don’t yet have shoes on my feet. I’m poised to apply lip gloss when our whole world changes, as Katie stomps in with a demand. 8220;Tell me the truth about Santa.”. 8220;I mean, is he real? 8220;Yes.”. 8220;But I be...

In the middle of that frenzy, I consider my current level of mom guilt — that e...

The "happy blog" of the Damm family, named long before Steve's brain tumor. Tyra's 2013 reading list. Monday, July 27, 2015.
