I LOVE HOMEMADE SOAP! I make some of my own, but I've only done it a couple of times, and it certainly needs tweaking!

Your post about why men should not be OB's was funny! I have had both male and female OBs, and I really liked my male OB, but he didn't quite seem as understanding as the ladies. Anyway, good luck with your pregnancy, you have a beautiful family already!

Ooh enter me for the soaps!

I have to admit your post on "A Courtship Conversation..Sort Of" made me think. That topic has come up a lot lately around us. We only have 2 sons and yet it seems wherever we turn, there it is. Abstinence. Courtship. Purity. Yipes!
Thanks for making it a little more light-hearted for your young ones than what we've seen lately. It's nice to know that some families aren't screaming at their daughters. :)

On the OB thing, I've had both and liked them, but the male one had a real problem with my pregnancy weight gain...he was appalled that I gained 50 lbs (I always take it off again). The female OB left me alone, having been there!

You have a lovely family! I enjoyed seeing your photos on your blog, and your post about your male OB was hilarious--not all male doctors are so unobservant or unsympathetic, but there's something to be said for doctors who can relate to what you're going through!

I haven't read Hoff's books yet but they sound terrific!

Have a great week!

Hi Carri,

I'd love a chance to win your homemade goat's milk soaps. I'm especially interested in the lemonade fragrance you had in the first photo. (I'm allergic to flowers but I *love* citrus, vanilla, and the like.)

I read and posted comments on a few other blogs. Hopefully that will qualify me for the second entry for the soaps? I think that my favorite is your anecdote from yesterday about the comments that you and your hubby make when people comment, "Don't you know what causes that?" I try reallllllllly hard not to say, "No, you idiot, I have an honors bachelors' degree with 180 credit hours, a double major and a minor (and 1 class short of a second minor), yet somehow that fact eluded me. Fill me in so I can be as smart as you." Aren't you proud of me that I have never said that? :-)

Under the title sound off, you had a post on Narnia and curly hair and hair cuts that I read. First off, my kids are dying to get to the theatre to see Prince Caspian. I usually wait until everything gets to the $2.50 movie theatre, but they are begging me to make it a "specialty" night and pay the $8.00 it costs to take them to the premiere. I'm thinking about it. What do you say, my budget? Secondly, your baby pictures and the pictures of your kids, you can barely tell the difference between them. They look just like you!! They're beautiful boys!! I want to win soaps, books, and more soaps. Enter me in. I did enjoy your posts, and I'll try and come back often. Thanks.
