JL Answers the Search Box, Volume 2

 

 

You know what I love about you people? So many of you seem to be humored by the same things as me. And, really, that’s just super fun.

 

I had such a good time doing my JessieLeigh Answers the Search Box post last month (and many of you giggled along [...]

So many questions about balls…

 

It is unendingly interesting to see what brings people to my site. Most of you come back here pretty regularly and that, right there, is the best. (I love you all more than cheese!)

 

Also awesome is when someone finds me through a link on another blog or through word of [...]

My Boy’s Heart

(A gentle giant, even as a toddler.)

I’ve already told you that our sweet A. is having surgery. That happens two days from now. TWO DAYS. Gracious.

9/12: I get a call from the school. A. has [...]

How to Help Sandy Hook (Newtown)

If you ask those of us who live in Western Connecticut what we think of when we think of Sandy Hook (a part of Newtown), most of us would tell you this:

So… is Facebook working for me?

It’s been over four months now.  I made the leap to WordPress (and my own domain.)  My wonderful husband helped make my blog prettier and more user-friendly.  (We hope?  We tried!)

So, is it working for [...]

Giving Back to Those Who Saved Your Baby, part 1

Here’s what I’m hearing from a lot of you- You’re home (Hooray!) Your baby is stable and doing well (Yahoo!) You’re starting to feel like maybe, finally, you can handle doing a little more than just surviving (Yippee!)

And so, this is the question that seems to always come to mind…

American Children’s Photography Charity Guild

When your child is dangerously premature or critically ill, having that first professional photo taken can easily fall by the wayside. It is not only not practical but not even possible to haul these infants into a studio to have their precious little faces captured for posterity. Fortunately, there is another option.

Organizing bills, applications, misc. paperwork

Ryann emailed me with this request: “One thing I’d love to see on your blog is how you keep all the medical/financial paperwork organized. I have found myself with boxes and boxes of bills, statements, benefit coverages, doctor’s office receipts, handouts about vaccinations, medications, and the like.”
