Stargirl


A recent twitter post by Sarah Rhoads reminded me of a magical little book that has a great message. Her tweet said "you can either fit in or stand out, never both". A friend from the Netherlands came to visit me last summer, and as a parting gift he gave me a book called Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli. It is a sweet story that celebrates nonconformity, selflessness and honesty. The thought that this book reminded him of me is super flattering, as the message of the book just speaks to me.

The Boy


The Rowan-ator turns two on March 25th. Is it just me or does he seem gigantic for a two year old tot?! He is getting so big, and he is chatting non-stop. It is a good age. He is such a funny little guy and he cracks me up constantly.
