Of Giveaways and Tradeaways

For those who didn't win my last giveaway (that would be 99% of you), Karen Mcquestion is kindly hosting one for me right now. I'll put it to you this way: your chances are pretty good if you enter—just leave a comment over at her blog. Organic Enchilada, I'm looking your way.

Check out Karen's books while you're there.

As for me, Christmas took a sad turn. The poor Gummybear has been coughing and rashing for weeks now. The doc said it was probably caused by something recently introduced into the environment. Oh, I don't know, like a spruce Christmas tree? Yeah, getting rid of the evergreen just before Christmas was killer. Luckily, we knew someone who was jonesing for a real tree and traded us for an artificial one.

I miss the smell of real pine in the house at Christmas time, but I much prefer having a happy toddler. That's a trade I'd make, any day.

  1. Poor gummy bear. The same thing happened to me when I was little. But cheer up, after I was about eight or nine I got over it and we were able to have real trees again.

  4. I'm all over it. And too bad about the tree. Fake ones are so...fake. :) But you're right - rash-free toddlers are totally worth it.
