I am that mom who gave EVERYTHING away after having her "last baby" only to then have her actual last baby. Thank goodness for friends who stepped in to loan or give me swaddlers, onesies, strollers, baby gear, board books, and toys for our fourth babe. Winnie would be sleeping in a drawer and listening to her older brother and sisters' chapter books if these girlfriends hadn't come along. For inexplicable reasons, I did decide to save a few of my favorite things in the midst of giving . . .
Her Business: Meredyth Delayne Nutrition Therapy
Today on The Thersday Series, I am delighted to introduce you to Meredyth Cann of Meredyth Delayne Nutrition.

Though it won't appeal to everyone reading my blog, I hope 10 Things encourages you to look in your own cities and towns for monthly events. Resources helpful to me are Bloom Magazine, C-Ville Weekly, Facebook . . .
Her Heart: Imprinting a Legacy
When my friend Cassie and I connected about an interview for The Thersday Series, I knew it would be special. Cassie is a beautiful writer and, I'm learning, is also wickedly funny. A trait I bet is from her daddy, a remarkable man who passed away six years ago. What I didn't realize is how closely her interview would be published in relation to Father's Day. Cassie's story about her dad, Mike, is both touching and sharp. She reminds us that grief can be raw even years after death, and her words . . .
