Some things of note:
**I received some nice feedback and supportive comments on my Simple Kids post. As I suspected, there are lots of single moms out there who feel they aren't being represented in the media aimed at parents. I'm excited to be a part of offering that voice.
**Self-portrait Saturday is on hiatus until I remedy my camera situation, which I believe will be next week.
**I realized this weekend that Bojey thinks a scarf is called a "whisker." After many confusing exchanges (coupled with her inability to pronounce the letter "r,"), I discovered that she wears a whisker around her neck. Since I think this might be the cutest thing I've ever heard, I haven't told her what it's really called. Is that bad?
**I use an invisible counter on my blog and check it sometimes to see where people are coming from. Today, I welcomed a visitor from...drumroll please...The North Pole! Santa, is it you? I've been very good this year. It turns out there is really a city in Alaska named "The North Pole." I'm intrigued. If you're the visitor (Santa or not) and you return, will you leave a comment? I'd love to know more.
**I'll be back tomorrow night with some thoughts on an electricity-free night.
Good night!

Very nice--advice even those of us in multi-parent households can follow. I especially like the point about helping the kids remember teh other parent--so many of my divorced friends have so much anomosity toward their ex and vice versa that it's hard for them to function...what a wonderful lesson for children in generosity and open-heartedness (even if they don't realize until they're older--remember how mom always helped us get a gift for dad?)
Whisker for scarf is adorable!
I think your North Pole visitor should visit again and comment, too!
I am so impressed by all that you do! It's very inspiring! You are not secretly doing Nanowrimo in addition to all that, are you? ??
