I began the layout for this blog in April 2008. I planned on blogging about life as an educated, intentionally unemployed stay-at-home mom. I never wrote a word. In November 2008, my fourth child was born still. Because I lost my precious baby girl, my blog specifically evolved into: life after losing a child to stillbirth. P.S. Four months later, add cancer to the subject matter.

How beautiful...
OMG, I have totally wanted to go there. I did not know that they were having financial troubles but who isn't these days. I really think that my husband and I could benefit from some time away. I need to do this. He wasn't that interested because it is so far north from us. We live in Kenosha WI, (southeast corner). We have a three year old little girl too. I just know that if we don't take the time now. Who is going to care for us? Thanks for supporting this cause and reminding me about it. I had the paperwork all filled out for Oct 2008 shortly after Renner died but that is how life goes. Anyway, I don't even really read or write that much anymore on the blogs. Sort of NUMB. Back to working full time. Long story. I have always appreciated your insight. Love and care. Thank-you. Peace.
