To celebrate spring, and blooming, here are 20 tried and true tips from…

I really enjoyed your book, Sisterhood, Interrupted!  I sent you an email about it the other day, so I hope you received it.

Hi Deborah! Thanks for the welcome. Your thoughtful post about writing about our kids was actually what brought me here to She Writes (A friend passed the link along to me.) Congrats on your twins, and I hope you're enjoying the adventure. The one-to-three-years-old period is, well, challenging, but also delightful in countless ways. Like most things about parenting, I suppose! Cheers, JR.
