The thing I love most about the blogging is the sense of community. There are so many different women that I interact with on a daily basis and perhaps have not met in real life, but I still consider them my friends……some of my dearest friends. Today I need your help. My friend Christie from the blog ‘A Lemon Squeezy Home‘ is at the hospital this morning with her beautiful six month old daughter, Ruby Jane, where Ruby is undergoing open heart surgery. My mom (Grandma Jane) actually just had open heart surgery to replace her aortic valve about four weeks ago, so I can begin to understand what this family is feeling today.
