Revenge of the stinging creatures?

-
I don't know if it's some strange sense of cosmic irony or just a mere coincidence but yesterday a wasp decided that my BooBooBear was the enemy. Boo was happily playing "Waterballoon Toss" with her friends and sisters when she felt something in her skirt.

She wasn't even sure at first if it was a bee sting or just an insect bite of some kind but looking at it we determined it really was a sting. We weren't sure *what* stung her though but our wonderful friend Kim grabbed some baking soda and made a paste.

But here is the amazing thing: It was *still* in her skirt! We didn't know it was there. She stood up and it fell out of her skirt. I think it is a miracle that it didn't sting her again! And she said it didn't hurt that bad. It was a very mild reaction.

Ok.. can I be done now with stinging things? In my van? Up my daughter's skirt? I thought they were supposed to pollinate flowers?

    That was a freakish thing. Boo is very brave! I'm glad it turned out all right. :)

I’ve been looking for an excuse to host a give a way.  I thought oh I’ll do a giveaway when I reach 100 followers!  And then suddenly I had over a hundred. Then I thought ‘why don’t I celebrate when I’ve written 100 posts?’  Typical of me, I didn’t pay attention and I went right on writing past 100. So now, I’m thinking I’ve got to do a Give-A-Away this week because of the Ultimate Blog Party .   (You can read my Blog Party Introduction post here .) So I look at my post count this morning and I realize that THIS POST is my 150th Blog Post! So now, I’ll just *have* to give something away.  But what?  What can I give away?  I know.. Coffee!   I’d serve coffee (or tea) if you were sitting here with me in my dinning room chatting so here’s your chance to win a $15 Starbucks Coffee Gift Card To enter leave a comment.   I’ll use a random method (such as random.org) to choose a winner.  Winner will be announced April 9th! Required for first entry:  Tell me what you would purchase with

HAPPY NEW YEAR! NEW START - NEW YEAR - NEW LOOK!

Happy New Year!  With the New Year, I opted to change the look of my blog.  It's currently a work in progress and Tailorbear is doing some design work for me. It's been about a year since I last posted.  I wasn't sure where I wanted to go with blogging.  Did I want to continue to blog?  What would write?   Then I found inspiration. It's a long story and I'll share it - bit by bit - going forward.  I am still passionate about education.  While BooBear, TurtleGirl, and Tailorbear are now busy being adults,  Supergirl continues with her "homeschooling."  As our special needs, medically fragile, miracle girl, she continues to amaze us, and we continue our commitment to keep homeschooling as long as she is interested and still making progress.   I will continue to blog about homeschooling-related topics. However,  I am most excited about blogging about my health journey. I want to share what I am learning!  I'm inspired to write about my new way of eating a
