"Well done Abigail, I agree with Lois, that giving bug is certainly catching, and how wonderful that is!"

Ann commented on Abigail's blog post Day 29 (!!!): Kind Words // Overview of the Month"Abigail, I have really enjoyed your blogs. You are such a giving person. I am glad you are going to continue and hope that you will blog whenever you can. I wish you all the best in your future adventures (and ventures)."
Abigail commented on Sinjun's blog post The Last Two Days of Round One: The Strength of Honey"Congrats -- on finishing 29 days, and on all you've learned. And thanks for sharing it so eloquently!"
Abigail posted a blog postDay 29 (!!!): Kind Words // Overview of the Month
As I noted in my Day 28 blog, I decided to go out with a bang. I spent yesterday smiling at everyone I met. I have to admit, there were fewer people as the day went on, so it lost some of its excitement factor. Still, I think it even made a difference to my kids to have me smile as much as I could when I looked at them, too. Today was Day 29, and my plan for the final day was to say something nice to everyone I met ... and then I ended up being home for far more of the day than I expected.…See More
Abigail commented on Ann's blog post Day 27, Round 3 -- Driving away my fears"Way to go! That's such a gift for both of you -- the truck for your husband, and the knowledge that you can overcome what seems overwhelming. Yay!"
Joan Concilio Otto commented on Abigail's blog post Day 27: Not a Word // Day 28, part 1: Smiley Faces"I can really relate to your gift. And I REALLY needed to hear it; it's 11:10 p.m. and my husband was hoping to be home from work by 10:30 p.m. We work together, and I know why he's late - it was an immensely rough day for his…"
Abigail posted a blog postDay 27: Not a Word // Day 28, part 1: Smiley Faces
Yesterday (Day 27), my husband came home nearly an hour late. This isn't hugely unusual, but it is usually frustrating for me -- especially because the kids get upset when they're not expecting it. Still, I try to be at least somewhat gracious about it as long as he shows up on time on Wednesdays. I call Wednesdays our "chaos days" because they are so jam-packed. By the time we get through a later-than-usual, picked-up-on-the-way-home pizza dinner, we barely have time for a bath before bedtime.…See More
Abigail commented on ImTheMoms12's blog post Day 1 - What a Great Start..."PenguinInTheSun is right: If you think it could be chemical, it's a good thing to tell your doctor. (Even when it feels like such a chore to go through all the rigamarole of setting up an appt, etc.) Sometimes, it resolves on its own, but…"
Abigail commented on ImTheMoms12's blog post Day 1 - What a Great Start..."WOW -- that's incredible. What a great start for your day, and for the Walk!
Also, I wanted to add, along with dzb123, you're definitely not alone. My kids are 5 and 2.5 now, but I hit a really rough spot -- with both of them --…"
Abigail commented on Mary Jo's blog post Day 7"What a lovely thing to "learn." Thanks for passing that on!"
Ann commented on Abigail's blog post Day 26: Open Door"You were a giving whirlwind! The dinner for you mother in law was a delicious and very thoughtful gift. Teaching your children about civic duty and bringing pleasure to them and others at the same time was terrific! Letting your…"
Abigail posted a blog postDay 26: Open Door
My father-in-law is traveling this week, so I invited my mother-in-law over for dinner tonight. She still isn't settling into our town (they moved here from the opposite coast about two years ago), so she would otherwise spend this time all alone at home. She isn't an adventuresome eater -- at all -- so I made sure to cook something she'd eat. In fact, I went for a "special treat" meal for everyone: breakfast for dinner. YUM! I also took the kids to vote with me (town elections), which I think…See More

Abigail commented on SamiDan19's blog post Day Four - Flowers"Good luck with your events. I know exactly what you mean, but I'm sure momentum will pick up with time. For my own stuff, we've always found that the vast majority of people don't want to commit to a time until much closer to the date…"

Today, we had an unexpectedly free morning, so the kids and I went to this cute little art shop that lets you do "drop-in" art projects. My daughter A LOVES this place, but we haven't gone much because I've been convinced that my son would destroy the place by emptying out every single bin. Well, it's been months since we were there last -- and I guess my son T has grown up a lot. The trip was supposed to be a gift for A, and I figured it would involve a lot of cajoling T into good (or at…
